The Taptu team is growing quickly to support our growth as a business; we now officially have a new team member to our US team. You’ll be reading much more from Jason in the near future, as he covers the perspective of a mobile guy in the American market. Join me in welcoming him to the team! – Vero

I’m Jason and I’m the new US Community Manager for Taptu.  My role will be to help boost Taptu’s profile here in the U.S. and make sure Taptu users’ needs are being met.

I am glad to be a part of the Taptu family.  The company already has a very well established presence in providing a socially connected mobile search experience, and has some amazing technologies that will soon be revealed.  I’m excited to be joining at this juncture in the company’s history.

You’re probably wondering – who is this guy?  Well, put simply, I’m a technologist who constantly likes to tinker and hack.  I’ve been online since 1994 when I got my first Unix shell account and I was hooked instantly with the online world.  My two passions are mobile technology and social media, especially when these two areas collide.

I’ve written about mobile technology on different publications including my own blog – techcraver.com.  Additionally, I’ve been a contributor to GigaOm, WebWorkerDaily, ReadWriteWeb, DownloadSquad, and CMSWire.

I am based in Portland, Oregon – however you should expect to see me at a variety of events and conferences as I’ll be spreading the word about Taptu across the U.S. mobile ecosystem.

Please reach out to me – my email address is jason.harris@taptu.com.  Also, you can find me on Twitter at @harrisja.
