DISQUS

Donna - By the way, are you on Twitter?

Donna - Actually, I do strategy for Tribune Interactive, which includes working with both the Chicago Tribune and Tribune Interactive!

About the hipster thing: I'm a bit cynical. But it sounds like you are too, which is a good thing. ;-)

I think the LAT just hosted a blogger event with Luke Ford, actually...

Helena - Just wish it.

Just wish it.

Katie - You need more help than I can provide. ;-)

"Take On Me" used to be my ringtone, you know.

Rob - I like having some sort of dummy headline in there, even though I always go back and change it after. Just a habit, I guess.

Bob - Those definitely were some cool old stories, huh?

Heck yeah!

That's a few people. And, of course, no Barbara. :-(

I'll be at Blue Havana having a cigar from 5-6, so if anyone wants to join me, you're more than welcome! Free cigars over there.

@Ryan - Don't worry, there will be plenty of stuff in the future. It was great meeting you and I look forward to future conversations about social media, etc. If you're in town, you have a friend over here.

@Marc - Evangelism is what it's all about. Show them "Social Media in Plain English." They'll thank you for it!

@Becky - I know, isn't it a pain?

Beverly representing. We need more Southwest Side folks.

@Shannon - Same here. If you're in Chicago, drop me a line. Until we meet again, I'll be following your Tweets and reading about your travels.

@Barbara - Now let's see if folks actually deliver. I think marketers in the space still aren't ready to adapt.

Fixed. Sorry about that!

I'd love to see what you're talking about. Please post a link!

Ha. Well, if you insist...

Absolutely no idea. Man, I feel cool having someone from Brewza checking out my site!

Definitely! How are things going at Southwest?

And thanks for reading it. I think it's the first Q&A; I've ever been on the receiving end of!

I guess that makes sense, you know, with him opening what looks like an ark.

I haven't seen the new one yet, actually. Is it worth seeing?

Indeed. What floor are you on?

I REALLY like Powerset. Thanks for the list!

My pleasure, Dave. Please let me know what you think!

It seems the Games really may not be for the residents, and it would be a shame if the mindset were, "Let's get it done despite what Chicagoans think."

I'm not sure I agree. Most people who use Twitter ARE educated.

And there are other ways to keep your thoughts brief, e.g. TinyURLs. Then again, you could also limit your thought to under 140 characters. Just a thought.

Um, I think "Gummy" is spelled with a "Y." Geez!

I guess there are just two schools of thought about the true nature of Gummy-ness.

I think we all are! But when it costs as much to buy groceries as it does to eat out every night, I think there's something wrong with our economy!

Thanks, Brad!
