A great blog review thanks to an online relationship going offline

If you want to get famous online then you obviously want people to notice you and talk about you.  It also helps if once in a while they’re saying something nice when they’re doing the talking.   Well, I was lucky enough to meet Alisha Mann at a Twitter networking event (yes, those actually exist — meeting Tweeters in person) and right away we connected.  She’s really outgoing and super fun with a great energy about her.

Turns out she’s also an awesome connector. She met up with me at the F5 Expo that I went to for mobile & web technology type stuff and introduced me to some great people, including Erin Ireland who I’ve since done a YouTube video with (and we’ll soon be doing more).  Alisha is one of those people who just loves to help others and introduce like minded people, which is just one many reasons that she’s such a great PR and Events person (with her own company AM Ventures).

And speaking of her company, she created a blog for it and I was lucky enough to be the first story! And what a story it is.  She interviewed me about my YouTube success, how I got to where I am now, and where I plan to go in the future (and then filled in the rest with all sorts of nice stuff).

You can read the article here on her blog.  This again emphasizes for me why it’s so important to not just stay at home and try to spread the word online about who I am and what I’m doing, but to also be sure that I’m getting out and meeting people in person, face to face. Alisha and I were following each other on Twitter already for a while, but we didn’t really have a connection or form a friendship until we were able to meet in person and have conversations that weren’t restricted to 140 characters.
