I want to mention a great organization that Jupitermedia just joined -- The Online Publishers Association.

I am not an organization person nor a "joiner." Our company has eschewed joining organizations. However I heartily endorse the OPA and the fine work being done by Michael Zimbalist ---executive director.

Unlike some other organizations out there in and around the Internet space, I believe the OPA is objective, favors no particular company, has an executive director who is not an empire builder (but a visionary), and is a place in which we gain valuable contacts and educational experiences.

I encourage online publishers to take a look at the OPA's offerings and to consider joining.

I will keep all informed about our upcoming experiences.
