Contentious

I love Amy Gahran. She’s good people. And brilliant. And I’m not just saying that because she mentioned me in her good people video. Or just because she mentioned TW. Or just because she mentioned BlogHer.

For years, I would send links to Amy’s posts to my boss and coworkers – trying to plead my case for the “company” moving into social media and social marketing – trying to convince “them” that we needed to have a discussion with people.

And then, there was that somewhat drunken cocktail party by the pool at BlogHerCon06 when Amy pulled her mic out of her pocket to record AllAboutGeorge and instantly he pulled his mic out to record Amy. It was brilliant. A fantastic example of what we’re all doing out here in the blogosphere.

And then there was the time when Amy started the whole buzz about whether or not it was professional to share personal details about your life on your blog or with your clients. That survey, do you remember the survey? Not only is Amy brilliant, she’s brave.

OK enough already, I need to get to work.
