Kevin Merritt recently founded blist. We're creating a very unique and compelling web-based application and service that will help consumers and professionals alike be far more productive than they've ever been, while also making computing fun again.

Before founding blist, in 2002 Kevin Merritt founded MessageRite, a web-based email archiving software developer and service provider. In 2004 FrontBridge Technologies acquired MessageRite and I became VP of Archiving and Compliance and functioned as CTO of the archiving service. In 2005 Microsoft acquired FrontBridge and move the 150-person company, including me, to the Seattle area. At Microsoft Kevin Merritt initially served as a Software Architect and ultimately as Director of Operations.
