Among our many clients, we've worked with recent startup Now This News and industry giants like Salon and The Huffington Post/AOL.
Salon is an online magazine which was launched in 1995 and has continued operation for over 17 years. The American Journalism Review called it the Internet's "preeminent independent venue for journalism." Additionally, Salon has received numerous awards over the years since its inception.
Salon has been an industry leader for online breaking news, politics, culture, technology, and entertainment. Salon has over 10 million monthly unique visitors and currently ranks in the top 400 most visited sites for US web users and in the top 1300 most visited sites for worldwide Internet users, although Salon did recently reach a high of 800th worldwide.
RookSoft developed the mobile apps for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android (smartphones and tablet devices) platforms for Salon. This is an ongoing project.

His work with The Huffington Post continued on after the acquistion by AOL and spanned two separate versions of the app. The Huffington Post mobile app for iOS (iPad only) app ranks in the top 100 apps in 36 countries.
