Already Lucky in ’08

Om Malik himself broke the news of his recent heart attack in classic GigaOm style: open, to the point, well thought-out, and witty. As usual, trying to write anything after you read one of Om’s posts is at best a humbling experience. He is The Master.

All of us are so thankful for Om’s recovery. We’re also extremely impressed with Om’s close friends, family, and colleagues at GigaOm, who mobilized over the past few days to create a remarkable support system for his recovery. The integrity and professionalism with which Paul, Liz, Katie, Surj, Carolyn, and the entire team acted during this trying time will inspire us all for years to come, and it was a rare privilege for me to witness. If fortune is measured by the quality of friends and people who surround you, then Om is surely at the top of the heap. (Is 583 comments a new record?).

Get well soon, dear friend. All of us at True are here to make your 2008 resolutions a reality. We look forward to many happier and healthier New Years’ together.
