Connecting with people.
Connecting with brands.
Using technology better… to connect and more.
Using measurement better… to connect the dots.
Connection, connection, connection.
It’s all about connection.

Thanks for including my post in the round up Shonali! I hope you enjoyed your weekend, did it extend today? Working 1/2 day myself.
@hackmanj My pleasure! I did take yesterday off… though I worked a little in the evening. Paying the price now, after slipping on the snowy ice (or should that be icy snow?) this morning to boot…
