Sorry to see Colin leaving Mzinga but he will thrive in the small band of brothers you are assembling - and sounds like you will have a lot of fun! Glad to see things taking shape!

Chris,

Awesome team you have assembled. Sharing the workload will prove beneficial, and I'm looking forward to tracking your team's progress in 2009.

Someday I may be assembling a team of my own!

Happy New Year Chris! You have provided hours of meaningful and thought-provoking content! Thanks!

Hope to see you at #ASW09 in Las Vegas or at a dinner there Jan 10~12?

Respectfully,

Nicholas Chase

Wow! Things are really rockin' and rollin' for you and the crew. I'm working with social advocacy groups and lawyers - trying to get them plugged in and show them how all of this works to create better everythings in their respective worlds -- and they're getting so jazzed about it. Yes, lawyers need social media, too. I know that if someone created an event about social media geared towards the legal profession, it would be a huge hit! [hint hint]. The ABA Journal has already done a few articles about the top 100 blawgs and attorneys using social media -- yet this is still a very unchartered area for most lawyers -- especially anyone over 35. I'm available if you want to toss around some ideas. :-) Many blessings of prosperity and joy to everyone in 2009. It's going to be great.

Chris/Colin - wow, don't know what happened there. Someone must have hacked in and used my credentials. Colin is super awesome and will make your team ten times better!

Seriously though, I couldn't be happier for you guys. This us a great fit all around. Good luck with the swashbuckling!

Best,

Chris - you didn't actually hire that guy, did you? He's a bigger good off than I am. Oh crap, just forgot that you don't moderate your comments... oops!

Congratulations on the expansion - sounds like you have a real dream team in place. In the new year, would love to talk to you about all you mentioned - for us and for our clients, most of who are all in or getting into the social media space.

Happy New Year!
Ken

Glad to see you are already taking pro-active steps going into 2009. Its good that you have outlined duties and such already, the last thng any pirate ship needs is two captains. For that almost always leads to a mutiny.

Great photo choice Chris and congrats Colin!

I hope to see the entire NML crew at Mzinga in the spring for some BBQ. Perhaps a guest hosting opportunity or the long-talked about BBQ throwdown!?!?

You just continue to go up in the world. This is a nice snag for you. Hopefully you'll be able to play with the big boys now.

Ahoy! I await to see Colin's new garb. He's quite the innovator!

Here's a question, and I'm sure you don't have an answer yet, but as you decorate the ship, perhaps you'd do away with "traditional" titles and shift to new marketing titles, e.g. creative officer, ship's running mate, and parrothead?

p.s. Hope to see some solid female pirates joining y'all soon - because there's nothing like the element of surprise... ;)

I keep *trying* to get over here to say "woooooot!!" and congrats to all 3 of you - but the internet is about 20 Firefox tabs ahead of me today! :P

Doesn't really seem fair to the rest of us, you guys ganging up like that! ;)

Unstoppable force comes to mind...

You must be doing really good, I remember when I started my first company I had to do the things you list above, plus I cleaned the office, and was the landscaper. Since you don't mention those functions I'm just assuming you have it covered by someone else..sweet deal =)

Welcome to the pirate ship Colin! Plan on wearing an eye-patch a lot so everyone won't notice that you actually have one eye closed *trying* to get some rest. I regularly fall asleep while typing now.... :)
