Joe and I have chatted online via his blog, podcasts, Second Life, Twitter, etc. for 3 years or so. He is a mastermind of online marketing, promotions and communications.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in person at the Society of New Communication Research’s NewComm Forum in Spring ‘08 where he brought the house down with his kick ass keynote. Looking forward to hearing Joe’s twisted and colorful take on “What Advertisers Want.”
You’re so sweet
