Being Peter Kim in 2007

Thanks for allowing me to share thoughts with you this past year.

I was quite fortunate to be invited by many clients, organizations, and associations to meet in person and discuss marketing and strategy.  I'm not a great photographer; however, I threw together a small scrapbook of stuff I saw this year that you might like.

Looking back, one of my favorite things about 2007: meeting so many social media people in person, some for the first time, others just in a long time:  David Armano. Jonny Bentwood. Rohit Bhargava. Pete Blackshaw.  Toby Bloomberg. Chris Brogan. Blake Cahill. CC Chapman. David Churbuck. Henry Copeland. Michael Donnelly. John Eckman. Richard Edelman. Maxine Friedman. Josh Hallett. Ann Handley. Joseph Jaffe. Jeff Jarvis. Max Kalehoff. Karl Long. Owen Mack and Jesse Buckley. Amanda Mooney. Rick Murray. Jeremiah Owyang (now a colleague). Jeremy Pepper. Marianne Richmond. Julia Roy. Steve Rubel. Deb Schultz. Dan Schwabel. Aki Spicer. Mike Spataro.  Ilya Vedrashko. Greg Verdino.  (Sincere apologies if I missed you in the shout outs here.) 

Looking forward, 2008 may fly by even faster than this year, hard to believe.  I'm shifting my research coverage at Forrester to focus on mobile marketing, blogging, and building interactive skills/z.  More on that in the weeks to come.

Thanks again for the conversation.  I'm happy to share with you in Flickr, Twitter, Dopplr, and Facebook as well.

I'm glad we met, (both first online) then now as colleagues, great times ahead for the industry.

LOVE your scrapbook!

Best of luck with your new Forrester coverage areas...will look forward to it. Hope I will be fortunate enough to meet up with you in person again somewhere in 08. If not, the next best thing to being there....

Peter,

It was a pleasure meeting you in person this past year and following your insights throughout the past 12 months. Have a great NYE (tonight) and I hope to see you again in 08.

[Ann Handley]

Was it really only this past year that we met? Then again, Internet time DOES move faster.... doesn't it?

Happy New Year, Pete!

[Chris Brogan...]

Hey Peter- don't be a stranger. Come to a few more tweetups and things in 2008 and let's stay in touch. I like what you're doing, and I look forward to your efforts in the coming year. Onward!
