The things I love most about the internet

1. It never stops to breathe, and cannot be controlled.

2. The consumer rules – the most creative, most useful and most interesting things are always the most popular.

3. Music. How I can spend $40 creating the Dolly Parton Mega Mix for my ipod after she mentored on American Idol. How the Toad the Wet Sprocket channel I created on Pandora plays exactly like my CD collection circa 1999. How the music industry will figure out how to stop ripping off and persecuting their customers for sharing the music they love, or they will be finished.

Prequel

I read a blog post by Penelope Trunk the other day about how you can't learn about social media by asking questions and doing research. You must immerse yourself. Coincidentally, I joined Twitter last week, which I still don't quite get, but give me time. Plus, I miss writing. Thus, this blog.

As a relative newcomer to the world of internet marketing, I will try to capture some of my initial impressions and adventures. I may also write about my life and my family - I think, for better or worse, career and life have been indelibly bonded. Try as I might, I can't keep them separate. Stupid fuzzy brain.

So hello, and welcome.
