I’m scanning cards this morning before I leave for Search Engine Strategies in San Jose, Outlook Entry #2200 is now Bryan Eisenberg. Bryan along with his brother Jeff recently authored the book “Waiting for Your Cat to Bark“. Though I’ve only read the first few chapters due to my insane time constraints of late, I will read the rest soon.
I met Bryan at ad:tech Chicago in the lobby of the hotel and we went out and shared an outstanding meal together. It was fascinating to compare his 7 years on the search engine circuit to my 7 months. We had different yet relevant data to share with one another. It was good fun and I would love to work on a project with him someday as we share similar visions of the world.
I hope to get around to writing a book review of his book sometime soon.
If you are looking to start a conversation with Bryan a good place to start would be to mention how he likes to visit bookstores and sign the books – while they are still on the shelves! He says they appreciate it and it sells more books. Sounds odd, but it’s the type of interesting things you will talk about in a conversation with him.
