Notes on Tech, Social Media, and Entrepreneurship … Are you with the Band?

One of the great things about developing third-party applications on Facebook […]
After considering it for a while, I decided to give my DC Metro Times checker it’s very own website! Everyone welcome getmetrotimes.com !
GetMetroTimes.com is a FREE service that allows you to quickly and easily check when the next metro train is arriving at your nearest station. You can check it online, or on your […]
One of my friends pointed out to me that a search for dc metro times on Google shows my lil’ web app in third place. Nice!

My name is Zvi Band (pronounced zuh-vee), and I write this blog. You'll hear me talk about technology, social media, digital strategy, and entrepreneurship, all of which I am interested in.
