Other "door openers" include Steve Broback, Jason Calacanis, Peter Levinson, Ann Handley, Rick Calvert, Terri Murphy, and Kerry Murdock. Thank you all for the opportunities you afforded.

I would like to thank Matt Heaton, Jonathan Washburn, Brad Andersohn, Rich Jacobson, and all the folks at Active Rain, where I was warmly received, first as "The Blog Coach," and now as the "Social Media Handyman"; Jeff Turner, Benn and Lani Rosales, Andy Kaufman, Todd Carpenter, Mariana Wagner, Mike Price, Morgan Brown, Derek Overbey, Stephanie Edwards-Musa, Dustin Luther, and, most especially, Ines Hegedus-Garcia round out the short list. More recent additions include Bill Lublin and Ginger Wilcox. There are many, many more who should be named.
