You go back way before I got started with Web2.0

My earliest influences date from 2007:

Howie Schwartz & Jack Humphrey’s “Bend The Web”

Michelle MacPhearson’s “Social Media Daily”

Jack Humphrey’s “Authority Black Book”
(3rd edition — 2009; each edition more powerful than the preceding)

Sucess is assured when you soak up this valuable knowledge and ACT ON IT.

When it comes to learning about blogging for business, I think it's fair to say I followed you like a puppy to Business Blog Consulting and to AllBusiness.com. Thank you for the insight on Rok and Debbie - a few "old timers" along with yourself in the blogging and RSS world.

I met Debbie Weil in Chicago around 5 years ago at a marketing conference and we were the only two in the room talking about blogs.

When we began in the online reputation monitoring space, there weren't many individuals who were really focused or specializing in it. I remember emailing Andy Beal (at the time he was with Fortune Interactive) and then conversing with him over the phone, and he had great insights to share. It's really nice to see that Andy has really moved on to become a name in reputation management, and I really appreciated the access he afforded a technology enthusiast like myself. When we started out, the elevator pitch needed 20 floors to get done right. Andy's blogging (and TopRanks as well) on the topic have played an integral part in raising awareness, and I think, it has resulted in a lot less folks having to learn the hard way about reputation crisis. I've said it <a href="http://repumetrix.com/blog/index.php?blog=3&title=be_keen_on_reputation_monitoring_part_1&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1" rel="nofollow">before</a>, and will say it again - we owe much thanks to influencers like Andy and yourself, and I think that when you're really passionate about the work you do, its purpose is reflected when others around you are benefitting.
