Thanks for stopping by! Hey, why don't you do what all the cool kids are doing and subscribe to my RSS feed? You know you want to, so go ahead, be bad, be very very bad... :) Thanks.

I begun getting calls, IM’s and emails Friday afternoon and that continued through the weekend. A number of great people who I worked with at MarketSmart Interactive was reaching out to me in regard to MSI pretty much closing it’s doors on Friday. It has already been widely blogged about the MSI dramatically reduced their workforce to about 8 or 9 people and those people left will be officially moved to MarketSmart Advertising. This is from a high at one time of more than 150. I have been reluctant to write about this to say the least. My feelings are torn between seeing incredibly talented and wonderful people I use to work with now out of jobs versus my own opinions on several different facets of the company and it’s management. While there has been many posts in the blogoshpere focused on demeaning and bashing certain individuals right or wrong, I am not going to do that here. Everyone has an opinion, what separates a true individual from an immature child is how and in what form he or she expresses that opinion.

What I do want to say is that with all the issues, mistakes and missteps made at Keyword Ranking / Websourced / MarketSmart Interactive, I feel absolutely blessed for the opportunity to of worked with such a group of dedicated, talented and good hearted people. I have never seen a group of people come together so quickly and for a time, create an environment that you woke up everyday excited to come to work because of the people who were sitting beside you. I left with the understanding that I learned a great deal, worked with great people and was lucky enough to walk away knowing that I can call many of you my friends.

As I have already spoken to many of you, I will do anything and everything in my power to help with your job search and find a position that will treat you as you absolutely deserve to be treated. If you have not gotten in touch with me, please feel free to shoot me an email.
