Download PDFI am glad to report that Blue Whale Labs is growing. We are opening our labs in New Delhi, and we are bringing aboard 10 folks there: 10 developers plus Manish Sonkar, who is directing Indian operations for us. Greg and Ranvir will be heading over there this week for a couple of weeks of intensive work, starting Wednesday, including Ruby On Rails and Ajax training for the new team there.
We haven’t even gotten around announcing the projects we are working on, but stay tuned. Very interesting stuff. We need to get permission from our clients. But trust me — they are working us ragged, and we need more designers, thinkers, and developers, fast.
Here in the US, we are tryng to attract a few good mammals (whales aren’t fish, you know) to join us in growing our exploding consulting service. We are interested in bringing aboard some more folks who are interested in the things that obsess us, like social applications, user experience, application design, product design and management, social media, and helping us to reinvent the way that software consulting works.
I was thinking back to the first issue of Wired, where they suggested how to go about submitting a story for publishing, which was something like “You write the story. The write us a letter explaining why you care about the story’s subject and why it matters. Then throw away the story and send us the letter.”
Do not send us a resume. Collect the ten most important posts on your blog (You aren’t blogging? You’ve got to be kidding!) and write a blog post entitled Why Blue Whale Labs Should Care About Me (or the like), and tag it “a few good mammals”. Send us the link. Let’s see where this goes.
If you are shy, you can send it as email: mammals@bluewhalelabs.com.

[…] Stowe Boyd and Blue Whale Labs has put out a call to action. They’re looking for “a few good mammals” to join their team. I’m not even sure if I’m the kind of person they’d be interested in or if my skill set is what they are looking for, but the concept behind their approach to looking for people intrigued me so much, I felt compelled to toss my hat into the ring. I’m supposed to list my 10 most important posts in this one and then send them the link. Only being a blogger for a short period makes finding astounding content pretty difficult, but here goes, in order of my own personal importance… […]

This is great folks that you are expanding your business in India. I have mentioned your project in a post of mine that contains ten of my good posts. I have been regular here, and like your stuff. I have not tagged or named my post as you said as I am Indian and not eligible for proving to be a good Mammal for your offer. I hope that you soon have openings for Indians, too. Best of Luck.
