Eric Wu, aka phaithful, is currently the sole contributor to protoFiler. He left his job to traveled half way around the world for a girl, making him an ex-product manager, ex-SEO, ex-SEM, ex-email marketer, and ex-programmer.

He has a strong passion for everything "web", which compels him to consume everything from articles about the latest APIs, Hadoop, and Map/Reduce to simply watching Diggnation.

The Ideology of protoFilter

protoFilter aims to simplify dry, hard-to-read, lengthy articles and research papers for those interested in web applications and technology. Additionally, at times we'll attempt to provide easy to digest takeaways from each article from the perspective of a Internet Marketer (e.g. SEO, SEM, social networker, email marketer), Product Manager, and/or Product Marketing Manager.

Although research papers aren't typically geared toward these audiences, we feel that there is valuable information in those articles that can help stimulate the creative juices for each of those roles.
