I really like Gerry McGovern (why didn’t I look him up while I was in Ireland?); he always hits the nail on the head. And he drove it home again in his recent post Web content migration: disastrous strategy.

My friends Jennifer Navarrete and Luis Sandoval asked me over to their BlogTalkRadio show to talk about How to use the Online Video Tools. It was a lot of fun.
