What you say about the BBS linking in with your job, in what sense? I'm just a little curious as to the similarities.

A lot of what I do involves social media monitoring and analysis. Years of acclimatizing to the BBS and the ways of the Internet makes me more than just a digital native... I've quite naturally become attuned to the ecosystem of "online."

When a client wants to know what's going on out there... sending me in versus someone less versed in the ways of the Internet is like having a native guiding you through a new city versus someone the travel agency hired.

Sounds cool, congrats!

Cheers :)

Just a guess, are the technology related question threads on the BBS relevant to your job? The fact that there's been a second one gave me the impression that you're seriously looking for thoughtful answers and such, perhaps to analyse rather than simply out of personal curiosity, and that search for information I could easily imagine tying in with marketing.

They are. Analysis might be too cold of a word... I'm trying gauge a sense of what's resonating with the folks here since they're so tied to technology.

Building a theory for the questions I posed will help inform a strategy that we're working on developing :)

So how's that Denovo going?

Hey, Merry Christmas man. Glad to see things are working out for you how you want 'em to. : )

It's taken me about a year to figure out, but I agree completely that liking your job is the most important part. Wish I had figured it out sooner, but better late than never. Luckily I have the internets at my disposal until I can get back to Canada and go back to school.

where you been man
