About Me

I spend my days at betaworks. In the evenings my wife and I are bossed around by our two lovely daughters.

For work-related matters, email me at josh at betaworks. For personal stuff, email me at josh at [my last name].net

Media and Links

(While there are a few pictures of my kids here, essentially those taken and posted directly from my phone, most of the good photos and videos of my kids appear only on idbit.)

Most of my older pictures (some going back decades) are here: Josh Auerbach's Grove Street albums, with a few at media.auerbach.net. More recently, I've started posting photos to my photostream at Flickr.

For more information on my professional life, see my LinkedIn profile. You can also find me on Facebook.

If you're looking for Steve Auerbach (my dad), you'll find him at Comet Sightings.

Other people to whom I'm related include the actress Bonnie Swencionis, obesity and hypnobirthing expert Charles Swencionis, counselor and educator Elly Darwin, and PR and marketing expert Alex Auerbach.

Fresh from the Labs: bitlynow Twitter Bot

bitly:

We recently cooked up a Twitterbot in bit.ly labs that once an hour publishes the bit.ly link that is currently getting the most clicks. Although this tool is still very much in beta, we are seeing some very interesting links pop up in this feed. Check it out at:

Let us know if this sparks any cool ideas, or even better yet, consume the bot data from the Twitter API, mash it up with data from our /info and /stats apis ( http://bit.ly/apidocs ), and show us something cool.
