Newsletter 61 – Valentine’s Day Client Crushes Revealed/The Countdown to South by Southwest is On

By

Feb 2, 2011

Valentine’s Day is a holiday created specifically to celebrate love — it’s also a great way for Hallmark to make room on their shelves and a good excuse to eat from the often overlooked fifth food group — chocolate. But, no matter what your Facebook relationship status is set to, you should know, Dyn loves you.

In this spirit of sharing the love, we asked the employees of Dyn to reveal which of our clients they can’t live without. So, from the sappy poems and the structured Haikus to the just plain racy, read on as our secret crushes get exposed.

Dyn - Be My Valentine

Dear Bob T. Monkey,
I’m writing this letter to confess my love for Remember the Milk. You text me, you email me, you even gave me a sexy widget on my phone. Without you I’d do nothing. Without you I’d be nothing. I just had to make sure to tell you today. Now I can cross this off my list: Send Bob T Monkey love letter ^today #Personal !1

Whether my feet are wide or narrow,
