Thanks again for having me my friend – really enjoyed sitting down and chatting with you!
@Matt: Glad to have you on board. I’m hoping this is the beginning of some collaborative projects that we’ll work on going forward.

Tony Ruiz´s last blog ..10 Ways to Stay Productive (Online and Offline)
Matt and Srini,
My takeaway from the interview is that in a short time you both have thrown yourself into the medium and figured out. I’ll agree there is no such thing as a social media “expert”, a word I am not crazy about. However both of your insights and comments were very useful and of value. In terms of expertise you are right there.//Marc
Marc Winitz´s last blog ..You Can Win By Losing
@Marc: I think that one thing you’ll find is that as you continue down this path of blogging your knowledge evolves. You learn more every day. The greatest resources I’ve found when it comes to blogging is other people. Every time I talk to somebody I learn new things about blogging that I’ve never considered. Even if that person has been around for less time than me, I try to see what I can learn from them.
