  1. Shel and Neville, thanks for mentioning my Prezume (interactive Prezi resume) in your last show.

    For those interested in checking out how I mashed up QR codes, videos, animations, photos and my resume together, take a look at http://bit.ly/tosolini

    Thanks!

  2. Hi guys, just wanted to quickly say that I like your show. However (you knew there was a ‘however’) it would be so so much better if it was edited down. I often find myself fast forwarding through sections where there is reaction commentary which adds little in the way of incisive analysis or additional information after an initial point is made.

    I don’t know who you are primarily targeting (PR professionals? corporates in need of one?) but I just can’t help but think that there are other busy people out there who find it really hard to devote a full hour to listening to the show?

    I wonder how many people you lose as subscribers because of this as well?

    As I said your show is great but you could communicate 85% of its value in half the time.

    Cheers,

    Mike
