Since I’ve loved and worked with or used technology for most of my adult life, I knew that I would enjoy chatting with Louis again (the last time was with @egoldstein and it was about Amplify – listen here). I was first introduced to Louis in 2009 when I started following him on Twitter and occasionally reading his blog. During the interview Louis really lays out what it takes to be successful at blogging, I think there is something for everyone there. We also discussed his involvement as VP of Marketing at My6sense. It was obvious that Louis is excited to be a part of the company. I’ve installed it on my Android tonight and the first impression is very good, the UI is incredibly clean and stunning on my Motorola Droid phone. I will share more on it once I get some time using it. I’d rather you listen to the podcast then get the blow by blow here. I will just say if you have any interest in technology, new media, etc, this will be a great show to listen to. Louis has a very high level of knowledge and one thing I noticed is in spite of not having prepared any Q&A for this (we spoke for 5-6 minutes before the interview – and much of that small talk/sound check) he responds quickly to every question. I didn’t realize it until I was reflecting back on the interview while writing this.
Also I asked Louis to share some resources that people will want to check out, here are some people and blogs you might want to watch or connect with:
Any chance we could get either you or Louis to post a list of the Twitter accounts of the people he recommended near the end of this podcast? Thank you.
@GrowMap There is a partial list at the bottom of the post above. The two google guys did not have Twitter accounts listed on their Google Profile page. Those are the ones that Louis posted to me via Skype. He also mentioned @briansolis and a number of other people were mentioned during the show. I will when time permits go through and find them all but for now here are a few more: @chrisbrogan, @egoldstein @dgrossman @alexschleber @dannybrown @shonali @ginidietrich @marshallk @illean Thanks for asking, excellent question.
@hackmanj @GrowMap Thank you for these. I tried to catch them but they weren’t clear enough. I follow Louis but we move in different online circles and I did not know some of the people he mentioned. I wish podcasts allowed you to back up and reply sections the way many video programs do.
I believe @illean should be @ileane as I know she asked a question about CommentLuv and I know her and her blog.
@GrowMap you are correct it should be @ileane thank you for noticing that and pointing it out. She is a great resource! I am sure the folks at Blogtalkradio would appreciate that feedback about the playback and reply. I am going to start embedding the podcasts a new way that I learned from my friend and fellow podcaster @adrielhampton in fact I started doing it already on the episode from last week.
