Hey Danny,
I’m not sure if anyone else has let you know how much these ‘Day in Search’ posts are appreciated. I make a great deal of use of them. They are comprehensive, interesting and save a lot of time. So thanks very much.
You know, after a very long day getting it all together (I’m all alone today, Barry and Greg are off), it’s really nice to hear that. Tell your friends :)
oh, I have :) and lots of folks from work are now coming here and emailing me with tidbits they find and asking questions. This is a great blog/site. I hope to attend more SMX conferences too. I loved SMX Advanced. Thanks again Danny
