Today marks my one year anniversary as an industry analyst at Forrester. It’s been an amazing journey so far, from conducting research to presenting it, advising clients, traveling the world, and following my passion for the web. I’ve learned a lot, messed up a few times and self-corrected (or have been market-corrected), met amazing leaders in the social space, and have helped brands and vendors move forward. Analysts are known for being critical (both positive and negative) of their market, and I certainly have given my fair share, now’s the chance for you to critique me back. I’d love to know what you think I could do better to improve as an analyst, a blogger, and as a professional, I’m listening.

This is my primary ‘industry’ blog that I follow. It is obvious that you know this stuff inside and out and your passion for this space is unmatched!
Keep up the good work.
I have been following SN trends for six or more years. I am particularly interested SN comment content namely because:
1. There are market opportunities yet discovered
2. Some comments are compelling, funny, etc.
3. Comments are serverly underrated
I am persuaded that as analyst it would be to your advantage to callibrate your SN radar to thoroughly scrutinize SN comment content. Thanks for your time, see you at the top!
Maybe not tweet so much! Excellent stuff though. I just can’t see my other friends. 😉
I, too, enjoy your work. One idea: Can you look at industries and how their needs/opportunities might vary in the social media space? For example, I am personally interested in CPG and wonder how to measure up my efforts. Thanks again.
