Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,

I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.

They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.

I thank all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Should anyone question this badge’s validity, send him or her directly to me. This award comes with a full “Liz said so” guarantee. It is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.

   Liz, thank you for tapping BusinessBlogWire! I’ve never enjoyed so much the thought of being called a(n) SOB! I’ll certainly try to be as much of an SOB as you are :).

   Liz,

   Thanks for the SOB badge of honor… Maybe I can buy you a beer (or coffee, or whatever fuels your writing) next time I’m in town.

   Whew! John T
   I only did it for the beer. What a relief that it worked!

   Well, that and the fact that you did some pretty important things this week regarding Net Neutrality and making folks aware. Thanks for what you do to make the Internet a better place.

   Imagine my surprise when I shuffled in, fired up the computer on a Saturday after a late night’s work and find not only a link back, but that you called me out as an SOB to boot! A guy could get hurt like that, before he’s had his coffee and all.

   Holy Smokes! Thanks, Liz. You made my day.

   Liz,

   What a great way for me to start my Saturday morning! I’ll wear the badge with honor and here’s to coffee (ok, maybe beer instead) sometime in Chicagoland.

   You put a smile on my face,
   Tammy

    Hi Tammy,
    What fun it is when people get a charge out of seeing the badge go up! Can’t wait to meet you in person. Thanks for your contributions to the discussions this week.
