Further down the road…

5 years…
…actually, not quite 5 years. In 2005 I joined Carmichael Lynch as a research specialist. Back then social media was a buzz word, Twitter still had the “track” feature and Facebook was just for college kids.

Goes something like this (just a picture around the special sauce)

Something like this, more or less. This is not new. It is more notes on how I’ve been thinking about it lately.
