Thanks for the links. Some of those are quite interesting (and I’d missed a few). And thanks for the link to my new blog.

Ha, thanks for the mention Todd!
FYI, the “Lowdown on Spamming Social Media” link you’ve included is to a scraper site copying content from my blog. Here’s the original post.
Cheers!

Damn those scapers keep getting better and better Lee - fixed that. At least now you know I link to you because of your great content, and not just cause you’re a cool guy:)

Thanks, Todd. A couple of new blogs in there that I haven’t been reading.
The better question might be when do I sleep.

Okay, lots of other Brian’s. I’m dead on branding for my first name.

Todd, thanks for the mention, I’ve been gone since Thursday so I didn’t see this until just this morning. I’m jealous I don’t live by you like Jim, it’d be fun to hang out.
Brian, I feel your pain with the name branding. Try having the most popular name for like 30 years, and then adding “Jensen” to it. There were 8 Michael Jensen’s in my college, I was lucky to not have a middle name overlap.
Thanks again Todd, you are so great!
