I love media! I have even committed acts of media myself. I have huge respect for people who create it. Just make the story about others.

@anildash FWiW, I'd love to talk with you or Gina about what I've seen with our account this week. And what the insights don't yet capture. -
@oiler yes please! Shoot me an email to anil@thinkup.com? -

@anildash I understand no love for the pub, but these are some excellent reporters and editors. Does no one like that have value? -
@clarajeffery of course! And I don't demean them at all.
