Get out of town

I’m sitting in a kitchen talking with Liz Strauss and Sheila Scarborough and thinking that this is the value of getting out of town.

We just discussed some blogging secrets. (Put your name on your blog!) We’re moving on to business models.

And if you don’t hear from me for a few days, it’s because I’m taking my own advice at SXSW.
