It’s always very flattering to see your work praised or recommended by others, no matter who you are or where the praise comes from (well, okay, there are some organisations and people I wouldn’t want to be praised by).
For me, one of the most interesting things of late is to see my work mentioned as a good blog about marketing. I’m probably one of the least likely people to consider myself and my work in the context of marketing. In fact, I made a joke by email to my friend, and seriously good marketer, Ann Handley (MarketingProfs on Twitter) that if I was to write an article on social media and marketing it would be entitled The Ihave no clue about marketing guide to marketing in the social web.
Yet, I seem to have cropped up in several places lately, including the AdAge Power 150, where I’m currently at #133 and the #5 Aussie behind several luminaries including Darren Rowse, Gavin Heaton and Laurel Papworth.
Gary Hayes makes mention of me in his post discussing the same list.
I guess that what I do with my clients and the things I talk about do include a component of marketing. But I’ve rarely thought about it in a specific sense.
So, I figure the question I have is what brings you to acidlabs to read what I have to say? Is it about marketing? Social media? Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0? Something else? I know I talk about a lot of different, albeit related topics, so I’m very keen to discover where you, my readers, find the gold.
Please leave a comment and let me know. Thanks!
