You’re friendly neighbourhood Social Media SpinVox Chap reporting in… How goes it readers?
I’m just plugging back in after a whirlwind tour of spreading the SpinVox gospel far and wide – taking in Nokia’s Openlab in Helsinki, the Web 2.0 Expo in New York, the Blog World Expo in Las Vegas and finally ad:tech London in… er… London!
There’s lots to catch up on before I dive back into this blogging malarky – (including some more thoughts on the whole Hierarchy of Communication thing from a few weeks ago) – but first, just a few notes and learnings from my travels to lands afar…

First up – WOW! Just WOW!
I cannot express my happiness enough to find out how well respected SpinVox was any and everywhere I went. It completely humbled me at times; meandering up to a group of bloggers (what is the collective noun for bloggers? anyone know?) and introducing myself along the lines of “Hi, I’m James Whatley, from SpinVox”…
I actually lost count of the amount of times I got back the following response: “SpinVox?! Cool! I love you guys!” ..or variations thereof.
Really, really made me smile!
One of the great things about embarking on such travels is that you finally get to put some faces to some of the names that you see bandied around daily on teh interwebz, I managed to say hi to a few of them too…
Big hellos to C T Moore, Matt Singley, Guy Kawasaki, Mark Burstiner, Brian Solis, Chrissie Brodigan, Brett Petersel, Gary Vaynerchuk and of course, one of my favourite peeps right now, Chris Brogan, (see below).

We clearly both have a love of great shirts…
As I mentioned – there’s a huge amount of correspondence I need to get through since returning. Spending nearly three weeks shaking hands with some of the best in the business can sure take it out of you!
Thanks to all, for making me (and SpinVox!) feel so darn welcome!
Watch this space – there’s more to follow soon…
