Welcome Owen Byrne…

Luc Levesque has the touch. Not only did he start one of the most interesting blogging companies in TravelPod. He also has a knack for attracting great talent.  Ealier today, Luc announced that the had just hired Owen Byrne to join TravelPod as head of TravelPod Labs.  If you’re having problems placing the name, its not because Owen hasn’t done big things.  In fact Owen was a co-founder at Digg.com.   Owen wrote the first code for Digg which help start the whole ball rolling for Web 2.0.

In case, you run into Owen and dont know what to talk about, you should know that he is also an awesome photographer and you can check out his flickr site here.

For some slightly more professional coverage of this news, you can check out both the TravelPod and Techvibes blogs.
