Matthew Modine want to buy you a beer!

I got to meet David Brain CEO of Edelman Europe today. Not only did he give us a great Buy Peter a Sandwich interview, but then flipped the camera, and interviewed ME for his SixtySecondView blog. I love CEOs that blog. His interview of me first, then mine of him. Enjoy! Best part? It’s a classic description of what HARO is. Forward it to friends when they ask.

Hopped the red-eye to London last night for a handful of meetings today. Found Kevin Anderson at the Guardian. Kevin is a corn-fed mid-west boy, transplanted to London, running the Blogs at the Guardian. He talks about the differences between American and European social media, why some people just don’t get it, and of course, cats.
