At 9:40am on June 22nd, 2008, Jim Dunkerley said…: Hi Scott, thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to digging deeper into the information on the CWC.

At 11:41am on June 21st, 2008, Lenn Thompson said…: Scott, I'd definitely like to discuss maybe leading a panel discussion next summer about applying Web 2.0 tools in large, B2B company with old school marketing culture.

I was just in Chicago and loved the conference, but it's depressing to think of how little I'm able to do given our corporate culture of direct mail (yes, still) and lame events as lead generators.

At 8:53am on June 17th, 2008, Rita Martin said…: Thank you. I have received your newsletter for several months. Your "Stop Wasting Time" session in Philly convinced me to step out of my box and network more with peers, wherever they are!
Good day!

At 8:36am on June 17th, 2008, Dawn said…: Hi Scott, Thanks for the welcome. I need to get involved in STC again...I've strayed for too long! Maybe the Content Wrangler will herd me back into the fold. Regards...

At 5:13pm on June 13th, 2008, Beth Conover said…: Thanks for the welcome and encouragement. I also found your presentation at the STC Conference enlightening and entertaining. I will see if I can dig up a photo for posting...

At 3:49pm on June 10th, 2008, James Kaufman said…: Glad to be here. I'm not a blogger, so to speak, but got to try sometime. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Just to let you know, not sure about potential attendees for the meeting, but I'll check with a couple of Regulatory folks, and see if there is interest. Thanks for the heads up! JAK

At 7:21am on June 9th, 2008, Audrey said…: Hi Scott!
Thanks. I really enjoyed your talk at the STC conference last week. And this group seemed to be all the buzz by the end of the conference so it should be interesting!

I know Rob has mentioned to you that the Rochester chapter is interested in having you speak at our annual conference in the spring (late March/early April). I was wondering about your availability as we may try to set the date based on that. Thanks!

At 7:49pm on June 4th, 2008, Leonor Ciarlone said…: Hi back Scott - I *wish* I had a clone -- I was back in Boston today, only in Philly for 24 hours :-( You were one of the folks I was looking for but never found!! Hope to see you soon
