  1. Hey Shel and Neville,
    Great Great show from yesterday [my son’s birthday] and before I comment otherwise, I would LOVE the promo code for the May 23 Social Media conference in SF. Also can I get two tickets?

    Now on to my compliments to the two of you AND a thank you for the content I’ve been able to share with the students in the online course I’m teaching through Laney College in Oakland: social Media for Journalists.

    We have a wonderfully interactive Facebook group, which you guys might be interested in observing . . . last thing I shared from your last week show was Neville’s report on OBL coverage.

    This week I’ll be posting info from the ProPublica article Shel discussed.

    Also, Shel, if you are in the Marin area tonight and want to come as my guest to Linked Local Marin County LinkedIn group that has almost 2,500 members, PLEASE consider:
    6-8:30pm Marin Yacht club in San Rafael. Just let me know. Of course, Neville, you are also invited but it might be a challenge.
    Keep on keepin’ on guys. I love your show!
    Shari Weiss
