Categories: On the move, Web IndustryPosted on December 30th, 2007

I’m starting this series of posts tagged On The Move (click to see archives) to recognize and congratulate folks who get promoted, move, or accept new exciting positions. We should congratulate the following folks:

Sheila Scarborough is joining Connie Reece and Mike Chapman at Reece and Company as a social media writer and consultant. Her other passions includes writing about travel and NHRA drag racing.(Twitter handle)

Steven Mandzik formerly of American Intelligence Community is now moving to a different group, one that will allow him to be a community leader, in an entrepreneurial shop at the CIA. He left a comment in my previous post.

Jeff Glasson joined PerkettPR .

Dan Schawbel is EMC’s first Social Media Specialist

Tris Hussey, a friend of mine joined B5 as a Training Manager, and is blogging on Maple Leaf 2.0, news here.

Mitchell Ashley is now blogging for Network World and will be starting another podcast (for Network World this time.) as well as maintaining his company Converging Networks LLC.

Will Pate, formerly of Flock is now at ConceptShare

And if anyone is looking for someone to move into their company (or maybe even for someone to move into your position as they are on your way out!), I just graduated from the University of Missouri and am looking for a job!

(Please excuse the shameless plug, but I’m never one to pass on an opportunity! Plus, if @marinamartin can get a boyfriend via twitter, then I am convinced that social media can do anything…even get me a job from a blog comment!)

Andrew, and everyone else, Consider this thread “on the move” as a place for you to network with others. As well as the Facebook group.

Plug away, I’m glad to see our industry grow.

Thanks for the mention, Jeremiah.

My move wasn’t even intentional. I enjoyed social media so much outside of work and because I was visible and the company was moving in this direction, they hired me internally to help them.

Thanks Jeremiah! Here’s to a great 08!

[...] few weeks ago, I was reading Jeremiah Owyang’s blog and saw a post on people who were “on the move” in the social media industry. I thought, well what is wrong with a little bit of self-promotion? [...]

[...] guy myself, I’ll admit I’m biased. But that doesn’t diminish the fact that Andrew took the iniative (see comment #1) to go after something he wanted — and succeeded. [...]
