The Email Wars

Let’s continue how email is the driving force behind social media site growth. Not RSS, not widgets, not PR but email marketing campaigns launched by people’s personal address book when they dump it into a social media site, like LinkedIn. Now Stefan, don’t hold this against me for using yours, but it is honestly my favorite personal invite yet. Straight to the point and brutally honest.

And to set the record straight we did not get drunk on a plane, although I will now on the next flight I see you at. Maybe we need a linked in for frequent travelers to meet up in boarding areas, airport bars and on planes to pass the time. WAIT I think that there was an Idaho Senator not to long ago that had something like this going on… so forget that. Glad this email did not say foot tapping in a bathroom stall.

Dylan,

Once a year I clean up Outlook whether it needs it or not, so sorry for another linkedinvite. At some point we’ve emailed, exchanged cards or gotten drunk on a plane, I promise.
