Congratulations to UConn and our March Madness Winner!

It has been an exciting past three weeks of basketball. In the beginning, there were 68 teams and now that 67 games played, a new national champion has been crowned with Connecticut’s win over Butler last night. It was an unexpected tournament with a lot of upsets and Cinderella stories and our NCAA bracket contest saw a lot of movement at the top and a lot of busted brackets.

In our inaugural bracket contest, we had over 200 individuals all playing to win a new iPad 2. After this Final Four weekend, we have also crowned our own ShareFile champion. Congratulations to Patrick Dunlap from JamisonMoneyFarmer PC for being our first ShareFile bracket challenge winner and the winner of the new iPad 2! Patrick successfully picked UConn to win the National Championship and won our challenge by only 1 point.

Congratulations to Patrick and thank you to all who participated in our inaugural bracket challenge. After the success of this year, we are very excited to see what happens next year and with only 364 days left until we crown our next champion, it’s time to start planning your picks for 2012’s tournament!

Business Article Roundup

I may be in the minority, but I still use an RSS reader for home and business use. My feed at ShareFile consists of just under 40 RSS feeds. While I may not read each article, I tend to skim through each and then save interesting ones to read later or to share via Twitter.
