BITS AND BYTES - 1/29/99

Here's some news that came across the wires that I thought was interesting indicators of what's going on in the Alley, when we're not out partying or sleeping (or working!).

T3 Media is expanding its reach and is opening a Seattle office to service clients out there. There new digs will be staffed with GM Tim Stiles, senior account manager Tammy Koenig and production manager Kendra Wilhelm, who is transferring from NY.

Modern Culture is participating in ARCO '99, Madrid's International Contemporary Art Fair, from February 11 to 16, 1999. Silicon Alley will be well represented as works from Roberta Bayley and Electronic Hollywood's Jaime Levy will be displayed. http://www.bway.net/~modcult/

All in the first week of the FortuneCity.com and Warner Bros. Online's ACMEcity.com, over 75,000 pages were added to its site AND their 1,000,000th "Citizen" joined FortuneCity.com.
