Step back and see the larger perspective, and for goodness sake, please stop applying silly labels to your identity, what you do and what you accomplish i.e., "marketer". You are way more than "a marketer"!!! You are original! You are creative!! You are thoughtful and thought-provoking across a range of of ideas and issues!!! You are an Artist and a damn good wordsmith!!!! You have a unique perspective on the world and the stuff happening in our world!!!!! And, millions of people benefit because they can see things and think about things in new ways because you have the balls to put yourself and your ideas out there!!!!!! Sam's comments are right-on. And, take him up on his offer of dialogue and ideas. Rock on Hugh!!!

Secondly, I think Stormhoek has done a lot to inform my view of how the web actually works... and its possibilites as a marketer... more so than English Cut, even...

I agree, there was a period where you were at the cutting edge of web 2.0 satire with a great British twist which often bust the self importance bubble of the Valley Digerati. Your work with Stormhoek may have taken your eye off the ball slightly but we have spoken about when you are on fire you are soooo spot on with your alternative and somtimes dark view of the web. Looking forward to seeing you and discussing a few ideas. For now bask in your sweat equity and enjoy the moment. Possibly open a bottle of Stormhoek's finest and enjoy the day. ;-) Congratulations Hugh.

Has the rest disappeared into the ether or is it still in existence? I agree with you Hugh and would be interested to view the 2002–2003 blogging but your archive starts in January 2004.

Again, I must say I find your stuff fascinating. I also find it extremely interesting that your blog is described as "most influential"! Not just most read, most hits, most readers, but most influential! Quite an achievement. thus spoke churchpundit! Congrats! Again, I must say I find your stuff fascinating.
