Matthew has lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area for fifteen years, including working as a writer and editor on the Web since 1995. He went from being a freelance writer to senior editor at Wired Digital, where Matthew helped launch several Wired properties including Webmonkey.
After a stint as a creative supervising for an OmniCom advertising agency, Mr. Margolin joined AngryCoffee. AngryCoffee was a startup for teaching musicians how to put their music on the Web while negotiating this new thing called, "Napster."
Along with a range of freelance writing, from the history of water use in the West, the demise of the Extreme Football League (XFL), to a primer on the Federalist papers as it relates to copyright for music industry professionals, Matthew's worked for software companies, and been an invited guest of a couple W3C working groups. Most recently, he worked for eBay in its User Experience and Design Group -- while whisk-brooming digital rights management software out his frontdoor.
