Ben,
I love the new site and your video. I know you’re reaching out to many people beyond the Twitter “walls” but we haven’t had the pleasure yet. It’s good to hear a voice to go with your picture. Excited to see what you do on the site over the coming months and years. Congrats!
p.s. I hate Mountain Dew. I vote for iced tea and creme’ brulee as food groups.
Your accent? Adorable. You have to help me work on my Raleigh accent. (Are you like, “What accent? They don’t have accents in North Carolina.”)
PS: You don’t autofollow on Twitter? I do. I can’t control the conversation — regardless of the # of followers — any better than I can control the weather. (Stole that from someone.) I have stumbled upon great friendships this way. I use Twitter search and Tweetdeck to intentionally find people and conversations. The rest is up to the universe!
Thanks, Laurie! We’ll get your accent situated. You can be a true Southern bell (but with the Yankee attitude).
Re: autofollow-I have been followed by too many pornstars recently to be comfortable with it. I tweet about once per day that I’ll gladly follow back anyone who interacts with me in the slightest way.
I’ll be bringing it as hard and fast as I can, Lisa. Thank you for the nice comments and your unfailing support. I’ll pass off a few bits of my energy for you.

I’m completely disagree, if we are going convert a soda to a food group I nominate Diet Coke.

@April @Trish If the drinks are the only objections, then I think I’ll do fine.
Thanks for the comments!

Hey Ben! Great site. How cool is this. Really glad to see you. Nice work. LOL about Diet Mountain Dew.

Hi Ben – Congrats on the big move! The site looks really cool! Can’t say the same about Mountain Dew
Good luck!

What’s up with this heresy? Oh well, it was tempered with a compliment.
Thanks!

Thank you, sir! It means a lot coming from a highly respected professional like yourself. And yes, the Dew is the only way to fly.

Thanks for posting this Ben – it’s always nice to put a face to a name (I know this is ironic from me, she who is without a Twitter profile pic
.

Thanks, Sarah! We’ll work on your Twitter pic.
