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.

   Hey - What a great award! I found myself here from Doc Searl’s blog…I was thinking it would be great to have an “Outstanding Aspiring Bloggers Award” so that those of us who are writers and are working towards having a blog that is read by many! Just a thought from a fellow blogger and podcaster… - Sebastian Prooth - Global Geek Podcast - SEBRT.COM

   I belive I am making a contribution to the community with the stuff I am doing online at the moment. I have the blog where I try to discuss relavent and interesting stuff, I am co-host of a great new podcast, the Global Geek Podcast, an active business member of the TechPodcast Network and other stuff.. If thats what you mean by a contribution I feel I am already doing so. Have I caught the wrong end of the stick here?

   Liz - Thank you very much, again. Doc Searls and MyDD eventually found out about my blog through your posts. Momentum seems to be building and you were the one who got the ball rolling.

   I’ll wear my badge proudly. Thanks — Tom

   No, Sebastian,
   This is as good of a place as any to start a conversation. Get to know us. We’re a good group and talk about important things. Yeah, well, and sometimes we talk about strawberrries. Networking and keeping the interconnectedness of the web strong is an important part of successful blogging.
   See you on another post?

   I’ll be over to check out your blog.
   Liz
