Thanks Terri,

We get our inspiration from the folks like Timothy who we interview and learn from. It’s a great way to learn – writing about what is going on in the online world. Then we try to apply what we’ve learned to our own business – but the best ideas all come from the folks we write about, not from us.

Michael,
This article is so inspiring. Real world application and successes using Web 2.0 tools.

Thanks for championing the cause with real life examples. Kudos to you!

BTW – I lived in Boulder for 20 + years – now in Broomfield, CO
