Because dropping names just isn’t fun without actually meeting them…

Started by Ken Yeung · 1 year ago

I’m quite ecstatic about things that are going on with my online presence, I must admit. It’s the small things that make it all worth it. In just the last 24 hours, I’ve been noticed by some of the best minds in the Washington, DC tech community and ultimately it’s because I did a handshake. […]

  • I know many of the people you list as "great web minds." Take it from me they are a bit over-rated. They are known because they got to this party early and talk a lot with great passion.

I look forward to meeting you fce-to-face and I thank you for the compliment although we are a bit orrated.
  • Wow...I got Shel Israel to comment on my blog. I think that's pretty impressive and awesome that someone of that caliber paid attention to lil' ol' me.

    But I digress slightly. To respond to Shel's comment about "great web minds"...for someone who is kinda in the middle of the social media pack, not a newbie, but also not a subject matter expert, I think having the insights of someone that I consider "great web minds" is very beneficial. Everyone is overrated by someone and that's a valid opinion. I'm not going to argue that. But for someone to say they know Guy Kawasaki who has achieved so much during his time at Apple to forming several of these web entities or Jeremiah Owyang who takes social media with him to work to help broaden his audience base or even Shel Israel himself who writes great blogs and passes along his knowledge to other people...these are the type of people who I'd love to consider being my contacts so I can weasel out their experience and become a better expert of this art form.

    DC has a great many of these people and I'm only breaking the crust and hopefully that'll only get better as more people begin to pay attention to me :-)
