Jeff Woelker : Chicago SEO, SEM, and Online Marketing Consultant

It’s easy to bash the State of Michigan: cold winters, rain, Detroit, rain, cold…it goes on and on. However, today is a day without bashing as the University of Michigan, MSU and Wayne State University have combined to create a research partnership which will share researchers, labs, and information between the three. Hopefully this will boost the Michigan economy which has been, shall I say, less than exemplary in previous years. It may also help to reverse a steady brain drain on the Michigan economy due to over reliance on the auto industry.

Personal Note: This is pretty much the reason I left Michigan. If Detroit were half as cool as Chicago, I probably would have stayed.

With this addition, as well as Google’s new Ann Arbor office at least Ann Arbor won’t be hurting. Now if we can just get those auto makers out of bed with the oil cartels and start making cars US customers want to buy, we’ll be all set.
