Happy New Year from the entire PhoneDog team! As you all know by now, Aaron Baker is no longer with the site. It was a sad and emotional move for many of us. I explained earlier today just how Aaron played a huge role in my professional career – with the site and the industry. He is still a great friend of mine and I look forward to seeing him and goofing off at various events over the coming months and years.

Without him running the ship, though, things are going to be a bit different. As of today, David Beren, founder and the man behind TmoNews, is stepping up as Editorial Director of all PhoneDog network sites. I am taking on the Managing Editor role, so you will definitely see much more of my face on the YouTube channel.

We also have many exciting changes planned that we can't go into a lot of detail about just yet. Over the next few weeks and months, you will see changes on the site, the YouTube channel and possibly new faces. There are a lot of very exciting drawing boards, and I welcome you all along on the ride into 2013, which will be a fantastic year for us all here at PhoneDog!
