I’m so excited to go back to Union University today. Dr. Anna Clifford and her students invite me from time to time to come and spend some time with them talking about Google and Web 2.0. We always have so much fun. (Anna always remembers that M&Ms are my favorite treats, too.) Today, I have the pleasure of Joanne G. coming with me to share her expertise as well.

I’m so honored that I get to come. I love sharing and I get to learn something, too…
