Just want to take a minute to thank everyone who has had an impact on me in 2008. So, in no particular order, I’d like to thank:

• First and foremost, thanks to the boys at Industry 44 for putting this new website together for me.

• Thanks for CK and Drew for making NYC in April something special.

• Again, thanks to Drew for giving me some real great advice a few months back. (And happy birthday, man!)

• Matt Dickman, for being available whenever, despite a crazy schedule. Hopefully we’ll be able to do better than just cross paths in an airport next year!

• Cleveland’s Mark Goren, for having great faith and getting me back in an agency setting.

• Valeria Maltoni for being cool, coming into Montreal and spending a day with me.

• Adele McAlear for being a great work colleague and friend.

• Kelly Flynn at the Advanced Learning Institute for inviting for to deliver a workshop at the Social Media for Government Conference and then inviting me back, and then inviting me to Toronto for the Social Media Summit to do the same.

• Peter Korchnak, for having me guest post over on his blog and for guest posting over here.

• Melanie Notkin, for guest posting here as well.

• Andy Nulman, for picking up dinner.

• Thanks to all my colleagues on the AOC2, particularly Gavin for his huge effort putting it together with Drew.

• Jay Ehret for putting together the AOC2 podcast and having me on as a guest.

• And, last but not least, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my thoughts and share their comments.

Happy holiday, everyone! I’ll be back with more blogging goodness on January 5th!
