Six Degrees Of Blogination
Late 2005, at a blogger meetup over at Mackey's, I chatted up a very attractive brunette who told me she was working for a big health-care startup that was gonna go great guns in 2006. The company turned out to be Revolution Health, who I interviewed with last summer to handle updating their privacy policy.*
I ended up not getting the job for reasons I never found out about, but given how badly the company's site debut is getting clowned on TechCrunch, maybe that was for the best. It was way out of my expertise level anyway, but the people were nice. C'est la vie--I bear them no ill will. ;)
In any event, I would've sworn on a stack of Korans** that said attractive brunette was Kelly Collins of "Ask KAC" fame, but my memory is like a sieve, so I couldn't be sure...
But it seems I was right!
It's fascinating to me that even as my public profile increases, the number of people I know who are also (and/or already) publicly known increases as well. Blogging really is the fame democratizer. ;)
* = The day was also memorable as the last time I saw RoarSavage, since we had lunch together. She's a bodacious beauty and a brilliant blogger, and I hope all's well with her.
** = Keith Ellison-style, yo. Represent.
