Greg Curhan has been named clickworker.com’s new CEO. Based in Germany, clickworker.com has established a strong lead in the European paid crowdsourcing market with customers, including Deutsche Telekom AG, AOL, Honda and PayPal. Already generating a third of its worldwide revenue from the U.S. market, clickworker.com is now expanding its presence in North America. Greg’s son is a freshman at Dartmouth. He’s been to Hanover twice this fall: once to drop Evan off at freshman trips. The second time was for Homecoming. “It was the first Homecoming I went to since our senior fall—1982! It was great to see the College in full swing. Bonfire was awesome, although I don’t think they made it 114 railroad tiers high. President Kim was very impressive with his grasp of the spirit of Dartmouth. Great touch that he walked out holding hands with the team captains for the coin toss at the football game.” Greg wrote that “overall it feels like thing are similar to when we were there. Same super-friendly, engaged, gung-ho student body. My son is having a blast. He’s involved in lots of varied activities including the ultimate Frisbee team, working on the lighting crew for the fall play, mountain biking with members of the DOC, figuring out what his major should be (three changes so far), checking out the fraternity scene, etc. I love having a son there. Helps me reconnect to what is going on in Hanover, and will likely cause me to visit three to four times a year, a lot from the Bay Area.”


That’s all I have. Remember to pay your class dues and be on the look out for information about our 50th birthday party bashes in your area, as well as the big one at Homecoming this fall! Forever green!
