Am I a dummy? No, don’t answer that!
March 14, 2007 //
The Sunday Tribune dedicated a full page to the “Irish who’ve made it into London’s marketing elite”. I was one of 5 people featured alongside Lorraine Twohill, Head of Google EMEA and 3 others.
Last week I learned that Revolution Magazine mentioned me (in August 2006) as one of 4 people to watch in 2007.
The clincher
Last week I received my personal copy of Digital Marketing for DUMMIES from one of its editors, Gregory Brooks. Thanks Gregory, what exactly are you trying to tell me? 
Should I study more carefully, the section on blogs?
Perhaps this is why New Media Age (NMA) rarely asks me to comment on subjects that I’m particularly qualified in and which they write a lot about regularly – namely Web accessibility, mobile web and Web 2.0 (because they think I’m a dummy). However, I look forward to their piece on the Semantic Web, as Greg did ask me to comment on it last week (for tomorrow’s publication).
So, am I amongst the elite, or am I just a dummy? Ahem, feel free not to comment 
Greg, seriously, congratulations on the book and thank you very much for sending me a copy. I’ve been told a number of times by journalists that I should write a book, but I wouldn’t know where to start, wouldn’t have the time and certainly wouldn’t have the skill to write properly. Suggestions welcome!

I felt that with your wealth of knowledge and contacts throughout the industry and beyond you would be a perfect evangelist for my efforts in print.
And low and behold, a blog entry already!
Cheers

You’re too kind Greg. I will promote it though. In fact, I’ve been invited to present to local government on ‘how to engage with the public through Council’s Web sites. I’ll promote it there and in fact, if you can get me a few copies by the 30th, I’ll give them out for you!
I’ve written a post about it on my BIMA blog too - http://bimablog.wordpress.com
