		<description>Hi Marty!

Wow!  Another local talented entrepreneur visiting my site!  For those of you folks that haven't seen nor hear of Wild Birds Unlimited, their motto is "Bringing people and nature together is behind everything we do."  They are an incredible company.

And they are incredible marketers.  I've rarely seen a company that does such a great job at communicating with their customers and bonding with them.  (My grandfather is a proud customer!)

Thanks for stopping by, Marty.  Compendium is the evolution of blogging!  While other folks are building platforms and plugins, Chris' company is building a solution that brings search and content together!  I can't wait to test drive it!

Warmest Regards,
Doug</description>

		<description>Hi Sean,

Chris is a stand-up guy and he would never risk pulling talent from ExactTarget for his own endeavors.

Also, I think Chris really needs someone with a strong professional programming background.  Though I've developed professionally, I'm much more of a product manager, identifying strategies and client needs, then turning those into requirements for development teams.  That's my niche.

I am posting this on my blog, though, so that my network can reach out.  Chris needs the best of the best on this and I want to do everything I can to help with Compendium's success!  Pass this info on if you know of someone.

		<description>Thank you for the post Doug.   Unfortunatly, my non-compete with ExactTarget puts Doug out of my reach.

The right person for this has leadership, vision and will work very very hard to make this company successful.  We know what we want the software to do...we have customers lining up...we just need the right team member to come along and lead our technology efforts.

		<description>Hey Doug.  This sounds exciting and actually right up your alley.

I'm surprised that you wouldn't jump at this opportunity since you have such a good working and personal relationship with Chris.

It seems the past few months has been a great time for startups to get acquired, so anyone with the skills should jump at this right away... who knows, Compendium could become the next purchase from a major player...

Just think of the stock options :)</description>
