Scott Beale is a Founder, CEO, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief at Laughing Squid. He possess expertise in blogging, user experience, web hosting, early stage startups, consumer internet and 21 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "San Francisco is funny shaped and lacks a real geographical center (Market & 8th st?) but culturally you can find the center of the city by following Scott Beale wherever he goes. Laughing Squid has provided me with years of web hosting, dozens of parties, and too many wonderful hours of blog reading than I care to count. Scott defines San Francisco, it defines him, and that's the highest complement I could give either one.", "Scott may seem unassuming at first. You may think he's just another guy. But he is in fact Clark Kent. Do not underestimate the worlds he can move. He is a nexus of the art community and leader in the technical community.", and "Laughing Squid is a full service ISP that goes way beyond what ISPs do. Just about the whole west coast underground art scene is hosted by them. And many of us out here on the east coast. I once made the mistake of going with another ISP for a small site I needed to set up in a hurry. It was a nightmare. LSquid is the best."
