    The Yuku rich text editor just got richer.

Let me introduce myself

Hi, my name is Cameron. I'm one of the new kids on the Yuku block and I'm very honored to be a part of this team.

So ... who am I?

I'm new to Yuku, but I've been around for a while. I worked for AOL for about a decade (wow I'm old!) before I left the mega company world, jumped into the fast-moving startup space and signed up with KickApps. When Yuku and KickApps joined, I was very happy, and very lucky, to be able to become a part of the Yuku team. Not only do I get to work in my home town of San Francisco, but I'm joining one of the hottest teams working on one of the hottest platforms on the web. Here's what I'm talking about: Survivor Sucks #14 on list of most essential fan sites on the web!

I mean, come on ... that is awesome!

So what do I bring to the table at Yuku?
I bring years of experience in delivering user-friendly, multimedia features to large groups of people. At Yuku, I'll be working in a general management and product role. Right now, we're working on new features like video uploading and sharing, fund raising tools to help you support your ad-free communities, and new profile and groups functionality.

Yes, but who am I really?

I guess you could say I'm a fun junky. I work hard, and I try to play hard. Depending on the season, you can find me with my girlfriend surfing (not very well) somewhere between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, telemark skiing in the Sierras, sailing on San Francisco Bay, white water kayaking in the foothills, camping and backpacking ... or out on the town in San Francisco. I grew up and still live in San Francisco, but I've spent quality time in Washington D.C., New York, Denver, Los Angeles and Madrid, Spain. I speak Spanish (was fluent once) and I really like to see live music, particularly when it's free. I'm a rabid 49er and San Francisco Giants fan. I like all music types, but if I'm going to club, it'll probably be house music or salsa. I've been to Burning Man a few times, and would like to go again some day.

As I check out the Yuku universe of communities, I'm blown away by how active and vibrant the discussions are ... and not just in the support boards! image Like I said, I'm new, but so far I'm loving Yuku and I hope it'll be home for many years to come.

    Sure, have you got a week, just kidding....

    I'm on a mission right now to help those who are new to Yuku.

    Chris {W962} will tell you.

    And I'm doing just that.

    Had a board I'm a member of just get migrated, {Atlantic City One} and I jumped right in to help.

    I do like to give back.

    Have done it with others, and will do that with other boards that migrate.

    Come up with slogans, write Yuku songs.

    Not to steal from the aspirin company's line, but "I'm all Yuku".

    And always will be.

    People were extremely nice and helpful to me, and I like to return the favor to others.

    And it's a lot of fun.

    Congratulations Cameron. The fact that your a 49's fan means your A-ok image I'm not a rabid fan, but they are my west coast team that I cheer for.

    For me I only become a rabid fan when you deal in skydiving.

    Wishing you much success in life.

    Thanks! Go 9ners! I went skydiving for the first time last October. It was incredible. I'll post some video of that adventure soon.
