Matt Basta Rocks!
Monday, August 18, 2008 at 10:52AM
I've written a bit about Matt Basta in the past - most recently because he has been nominated to speak for Widgetbox at SXSW Interactive (Have you voted yet?? Do it now!). A couple of weeks ago Matt, who is interning for us right now, was out visiting us for a week. You know that guy who has those videos of him dancing all over the world whose name also happens to be Matt? Well, we just found this awesome video called "Where the hell is Matt.....Basta? Calfornia Trip - Friday" (actually, its an 8 part series...), that he did while he was here. You have to watch it - he is awesome!!!
Of course, no post about Matt would be complete without highlighting some of his awesome widgets. So, in honor of his YouTube videos, here's his rockin' YouTube Video widget. This widget was created before our pubic launch at DEMOFall in September of 2006, making it one of Widgetbox's very first widgets. Its amazing to think how much we've all grown since then. *snif* Come back and see us again soon, Matt!

I find Matt rather attractive. When I knew he was just 20 when all this happened, it was really unbelievable.
Matt's obviously very talented for his age. I was playing atari at his age and didn't know what to do with my life.
I was still partying at 20. This is something.
I was working as a waitress at Matt's age.

No wonder Matt sounds so familiar. Now it's clear.

Some people start out with fresh ideas very young. I wish I was that lucky.
