Bristol Piazza Project is a “Go”
Bubbly-powered community placemaking project, Bristol Rising, has had its most “liked” idea — an Italian-style downtown piazza — approved by Bristol’s city council.

Congratulations, Bristol Rising!
Full postAnnouncing the redesigned Fab Apps website
2011 has been a busy year for Fab Apps. In spring, we wrapped up all our web consulting contracts to focus exclusively on internal apps projects. In summer, we launched the first title in our new mobile quiz platform, FonQuiz. In late summer and early fall, we have been steadily — and busily — making Bubbly a more powerful platform than ever.
