    So excited for you, Chris. You deserve every success. I wonder if BSF knows what they've gotten themselves into… 🙂

    Wow. So awesome and such a smart move. Congratulations, Chris! And congratulations, Greg!

    Nicely done. Any details on the new position? Look out, Lyris!

    Me, I'm still hoping this is a joke and you're gonna reveal that you're the new lead social media ninja at Friendster.

    Ha!

    I'll be officially the VP of Strategy and Innovation, but there will be a little of everything going on.

    I am so jealous of Greg and the whole BSF team. I hope they know what they are getting. Every company needs a Ninja… but you're like THE NINJA! Major congrats my friend. It has been a honor to watch you grow and evolve. Just make sure you still have time for Media Hacks!

    Congrats Chris! I saw the interview you did with Greg Cangialosi late last year at the Inbound Marketing Summit (http://www.whatcounts.com/blog/social-media/chr…) , and have been listening to you now and again on Media Hacks and am really impressed by both you and Blue Sky. I've read awesome things about Blue Sky from Chris Brogan and others. Sounds like a perfect fit. Light up the sky Chris! Way to go!
