It was another big month here at GeekWire. We unveiled our new GeekWire membership program, relaunched the popular GeekWire 200 startup list and hired superstar salesperson, Sarah Camp, as our Chief Sales Geek.

As you can imagine, things were buzzing around our increasingly cramped Ballard offices. It was also a busy time on the editorial front, with GeekWire posting our biggest traffic since we launched nearly two years ago. (Yes, our 2nd anniversary bash and ping pong tourney is coming up March 6th!)

We’re humbled by the readers who tune in each day, and we’ll continue to work hard to deliver the best news, analysis and features in the coming days, weeks and months. In case you missed some of the action in January, here’s a look back at the top stories of the month, based on page views. Enjoy!!
