Hi Andrew,

Nice episode! A little belated, congrats on the new set. Looking really really good. Last time, I loved the balloon part You always keep things entertaining and engaging. The Brit clip is hilarious

SAM sounds fantastic! I need to see if I can make it this time.

By the way, a great alternative to Dropbox is http://www.wetransfer.com. I like the fact that one does not need to register. It is quick and easy. It allows you to send 2 GB.

Cheers from Copenhagen, Denmark

The link for the QuickTime version is still pointing to episode 135, not 136. Please fix it.

Linux not Ly-nux – Linux is another computer Operating System for anyone who doesn’t know. Good show otherwise. I loved the clip.

I’ve been a fan of yours for years.
Sometimes your show is so “on-target” that it’s spooky.

Just a couple of weeks ago someone sent me the clip of the “Two Ronnies” and today it was on your show!

This week I was considering Dropbox as a file sharing solution but was undecided. Your comments on the service removed any hesitation I had.

Thanks for a great show and for being such a great guy.

Hi Andrew!

Your words everywhere are so perfect.

I think the webinar will do better from now on because if we live in other countries, it’s costly to make one hour call to US or another country even we are learning.

I wondered why you changed your shirts after the opening…? :O

Hi Andrew,

How about getting Bob Goshen to speak at the event……….either live or using a video (the video might be less expensive!!) ??

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

Just thought you might like to know that your lightbox free give away is not displaying properly (at least on my PC in IE8). Here’s a screen shot of what I see.

The graphic won’t move up the screen so I can sign up for your free info – the only option is to close the box.
If opt ins are down this may be why!

I was invited to a webinar earlier this week and while every other webinar that I have attended had the sound come over the internet, this one expected you to call a (non-toll free) telephone number to get the sales pitch on the product that they were selling. Who wants to rack up an hour’s worth of long distance charges to hear a sales pitch??

As for the twitter apps it might be worthwhile to also try this great tool http://litefeed.com which lets you read all content in 1 place, without need clicking on each link in your tweets.

I’ve been watching your blog very interesting articles, I will try to put into practice some that have interested me much. and I will comment the result.

A greeting from Spain and thank you very much.

Simon,

Thanks for your note. It looks like your screen resolution maybe too low to see the entire lightbox. It works for 1024×800 and above.

Hi Folks,

Last weekend and the early part of this week I was unwell, then I had to travel to speak in Los Angeles, so there was no episode but there’ll be a new one next week.

If the person “representing” Andrew on Twitter mentioned that he was sick and that there was no episode this week, then he could have communicated that.

I would highly recommend Jo Barnes as a speaker for the SAM retreat. Jo covers facebook marketing and I have just seen her present all weekend with Chris Farrell in the UK. They were both fantastic.

Although she is a ‘brit’, Jo did mention that she will be in Utah during April!!

I have always admired the words of wisdom concerning marketing from a man named Charles Lewis. Chuck is from Michigan and has been speaking on marketing and positioning for over 30 years. He and his son now are now doing some great webinars and teleseminars. Check him out. He would be great for SAM.
