Just Another Social Profile Really

It’s always sad when someone you look up to and admire rebuffs your affection. Like when the prettiest girl at school wouldn’t talk to you because you were a nerd (oh, sorry - was that just me? OK).

I’ve been following the 2nd SMX Advanced on Twitter today and it’s been great; kind of like when I followed SXSW earlier this year (the thing that reignited my use of Twitter), except that with SMX Advanced I actually know the people there.
