I filmed this at Portland’s Convention center at Webvisions right in the hallway, so we get to experience the natural environment, including some curious onlookers. Have you seen my other shows? I’m on a quest to interview the top minds and practitioners in User Experience, Web Analytics, and Web Strategy.

Great post and a video. I like the professional spin on the production, not a raw video, but a digital TV.

P.S. Hear you soon in the Social Media panel with Marketing Profs virtual conference!
