About

My name is Joey Sikes and I’m a young 20-something year old with goals that I work towards every day. I was born in St. Louis Missouri and have been involved with the web since the time I was a young boy. My first computer was a laser printer/fax/copier/computer combo made by a company called QMS. It had an Intel 486 with a 14.4k dial-up modem. This modem when parred with the computer allowed my dad to show me the Mobile Area Free Net. This was the internet before the internet. I became fascinated by the ability to connect and share thoughts with people over the computer. Over the years this fascination has only grow stronger and I now strive to connect people online through my own sites.

I designed my first website in the 7th grade after playing around with Microsoft Frontpage. I began teaching myself HTML code by dissecting what the program had generated. Over the years I have become fluent in many web languages and continue to stay current on new and emerging web technologies.

I am currently the VP of Twittley.com, a social networking site that helps people find and share interesting stuff from around the web. Twittley is heavily integrated with Twitter and offers many ground breaking features that make it a one of a kind site. Users can submit new stories that they think are useful or they can vote on already submitted stories. The Twittley Karma system uses a special algorithm to calculate how important each vote on the site is. This algorithm helps Twittley figure out what people really want to see while simultaneously filtering out spam. I am also business partners for a host of other social marketing sites.
