Week two of our new series that recaps the interesting and exciting news of the week according to The Vandiver Group.  So, here we go…can you believe it is already the first week of February?

1. The TVG team welcomes Bud Gregson who joined TVG as a web designer and programmer. His first order of business will be working with our great client ulrich Medical USA.
2. Sorry folks, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog’s Day which means six more weeks of winter. The famous rodent wasn’t replaced by a robot as PETA requested, but he did Tweet his forecast.  (Also an important day in my week personally, as I share my birthday with the groundhog. A fact that has earned me the nickname Phil throughout the office.)
3. Hot topics on Twitter this week included the Grammys, Toyota, the Super Bowl, Oscar nominations and Lost.
4. Facebook turns six this week, I joined the site back in 2004 and boy how it’s changed.  Dopplegangers and UrbanDictionary.com name definitions are the craze this week.
5. Congrats to the TVG team for being named to the Top 50 Women Owned Businesses in Missouri by www.diversitybusiness.com.

That’s all for this week. Enjoy your Super Bowl weekend.  Who are you rooting for? Will you even be watching?  I’ll be cheering on the Saints and critiquing all those ads.
