Hobnobbing with the famous

Today I met one of the founders of Yahoo!, Jerry Wang. He’s in the building today to participate in a Media Technology Day here at Chrysler. It was fun listening to his insights into the early days of Yahoo! and the Internet.

Later, Jeff Jarvis of Buzzmachine had a presentation about weblogs. His journalistic credentials are impressive and I’m honored to be among one of his peers (well almost) in weblogging. His perspective on how advertisers can use webloggers to spread brand buzz was right on target.

Gmail is awesome. I’m enjoying the interface and I don’t get any spam. I thought I would be getting more invites but nothing so far. Pam got one the other day and I planned on giving it out to someone. Maybe I can have some sort of fun contest.
