WEBKAZOO - Key Persons
webKazoo founder Mike Jones has been publishing on the Internet since 1995 -- practically the pioneer days for the web. His first experience with computers came in 1970, when he learned to write simple graphics programs (in a language named WATFOR) while a student in aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati.
Mike's later experience with web design began when he was a web producer for the site run by the New Haven Register daily newspaper. He later was named editor of the site, and was in charge of getting 125-150 stories from the paper online each day. It was a wonderful change after years of writing screaming headlines as a copy editor.
Before that he was a reporter and columnist for the (Hamilton) Journal-News, a daily newspaper in his native Ohio. When he was arts editor for that paper he reviewed concerts, movies, art exhibits and theater productions, earning him the nickname of "Mr. Entertainment."
His journalism career included many years at the New Haven Register as a copy editor, and a supervising editor responsible for assigning reporters and editing their work.
