Because of that, I just really DETEST when people treat this opportunity, which wasn't available to us 10 years ago, as merely a chance for them to lure people in to buy their products or services. It's like "You're So. *******. Obvious!" and they're acting like they're doing what everyone else is doing. Don't mind us! We like you! We care about you! BUY THIS! BUY THIS! BUY THIS! :/ If you're not actually interested in the people you interact with, you're pretty much the same as the companies that talk AT people with commercials instead of talking TO people to find out what they think and want that might ultimately result in your product being more marketable without trying to scam people or pretend to be "friends" with them. Thanks, man. hehe ‘Preciate it. :D

I'm happy that I'm older because whenever I make it to SXSW I wish to connect with the people I have day to day conversations with via web. Don't get me wrong, I wish to meet the Leo Laporte, Robert Scoble(on second thought, I have to think about that), Patrick Norton and so many of the tech people I have seen and heard over the years but the main reason is connect with the people I have chatted with over the past 5 years since being on the web now. I know hanging out with you Jen, Tyme, and Lisa will be a blast because you all are real. One thing you said in regards to Twitter is so true. When seeing someone with 10,000 followers and you've only posted less than a 100 tweets...that's not good. I'm learning more to use twitter as not only a platform to promote my work but really try and find people that I have the same interest because that is how friendships are made. Keep doing what you're doing dude and hope to hang out with you in the Big Apple one day. :-) Time and time again you hit on so many valid points in your posts and this one is so on point.
