From what I can tell, Stephen is one of those guys who like to get involved, who see life as a positive challenge. He works tirelessly works to make things better, cooler and fairer. We like Stephen for exactly these reasons. His curiosity and determination to actually do relevant stuff reminds us of our own. After all, that’s why we started Myows. Stephen has helped us with technical issues in the past, participated actively in idea generation and debate and is one of those members who make this project worthwhile.

Jenelle Bautista, a Computer-Engineering student who hails from the Philippines. Jenelle is passionate about design and has been protecting the creations that she makes in her spare time on Myows.

I recently stumbled upon a Myows member with some very cool feedback and I wanted to pick his brain a little and share some of his ideas and insights with the rest of you . I love how regular guys and girls like us are getting together and essentially using the web as a platform to counter the kind of copyright theft and fraud that that same web interconnectedness has allowed for in the first place. Fighting fire with fire!
