In a shocking move today, the corporation ECNext Inc is no longer my employer. Have hard times fallen upon us? Did the run down of the economy finally take its toll on this once growing media company?

No, the corporation has decided to change its name to Manta Media Inc. Sorry, I wanted to spice up today with a little fun. Manta is definitely growing and while many companies have been hit hard by the recession, we continue to hire and grow. With the success of Manta.com, we spent a long time deliberating and getting external help to make this decision.

Here’s a snippet from the press release sent out today:

“Manta accurately reflects the transformation and strategic direction of our business,” said Pamela Springer, Manta president and CEO. “As business owners regain confidence in the economy and begin to seek out potential customers and partners more aggressively, Manta has become the go-to site for finding vital information on small and midsize companies.”
