Here at Socket, we like to support local Columbia and mid-Missouri charitable organizations and events. Columbia and its surrounding communities have given so much to us, so we like to give back however we can.

One way we do this is by providing free Web hosting and discounted Internet service to Missouri non-profits. Interested organizations can fill out an application to apply for the program.

Sometimes, you just know a person is awesome. Even if you can’t put your finger on exactly why.   

That’s true when it comes to Adam Shipp, who was chosen as Socket’s You-Make-the-Difference-Award winner for the month of February. 

A co-worker who nominated Adam for the award said the following:

You know the people who, even though you don’t know exactly what they do, you know they are very smart and extremely good at their job? This is Adam Shipp. I can’t think of one thing that Adam can’t do. He’s a key Socketeer, and Socket wouldn’t run as well without him here.
