Happy Birthday Chris, Thia seems like a Birthday gift in reverse? We should be telling you those positive, uplifting things that you just said to us in your video. But, then I guess that IS what your saying to us. That we play a role and matter and can move on and upward and reach our goals too.
I know you've helped me in just a few tiny places already. And, that the only reasons the help is so tiny right now is that I am just getting started in the social marketing/knowledge and meeting new people arena and have to learn how to receive and apply all the wealth of info coming at me.
I'm glad I've stumbled upon a few men and women through twitter that seem to have a good grip on the ins and outs of social and commercial blogging so soon.
I so wish you a happy Birthday, and thank you again for all your efforts in mixing knowledge, strategies and color commentary through your blogs, tweets and jokes and look forward to an even more exciting year ahead.
God Bless, Bernard

No wonder you're so good in the arena of social media! You are about people and you have a grateful heart. That's appealing to people. You touched on something that's so true; people want to be valued. On your birthday you reached out to thank others and to tell them that they are important.
God bless you Chris. Thanks for your patience and for teaching us about social media. And have a great birthday. You're still so young!!!!

Happy birthday, Chris. Your video was precious in that you really seem to have a grasp on this whole "social media bubble" in which you live and thrive. I was talking to my husband this morning--a very anti social media guy, lol--about how I see mom bloggers in particular having ravenous appetites being fed in this arena; that they're sensing significance and recognition with trips or attention from companies or WHATEVER.
But you've touched on something that resonates with me--the intrinsic value of every person and what they have to offer...THEIR unique voice!
It's your birthday but you're giving little treat bags to everyone who stops in today. Now I'm wishin' I would've marched up to ya and introduced myself in the lobby of the Hilton in Austin. It was about 1 in the morning & you had quite the entourage & I didn't want to interrupt. Something tells me you wouldn't have minded so much :).

Thank you Chris and everyone that has commented here. Chris's message is one of the most important messages out there. With all the social marketing stuff going on and the complexity of the web, internet and all the ways to market and connect it is so important to remember why we are doing this and to remember how important all of us are. It is about RELATIONSHIPS! And how we relate to each other! We are emotional beings and we need that part for all this to create and to work.

I forgot about today being your real birthday, and I'm glad you reminded me. I always feel funny telling people I know only over the net, "Happy birthday." I'm sure you've received dozens, if not hundreds, of birthday messages already. It makes a single b-day wish seem unimportant.
This video, however, makes me think about what's really important, and even though everyone and their dog is sending wishes your way... Happy Birthday!
