I'm Anonymously Famous

I recently purchased a book by Seth Godin, who writes a great deal about online experiences and permission marketing (among other things).

In this particular book, he reprints an email he received after doing business with an online shopping site - the dot-com I used to work for, in fact. He gives it very high marks - in fact he called it "fast, simple and obvious" and "exactly what I expected it to be". Cool.

Why cool? Because that was my email - at least it was my program that sent that email that gave him a positive customer experience. Amanda wrote the copy (or most of it anyway) - but I made it sing, baby!

OK, so this was obviously an older book (the dot com experienced 'funding issues' and had to let most of us go - sigh) that I found in the bargain bin at Border's (buy 2, get one free)....but I saw that email and I was PROUD!

I do miss those days - I really enjoyed that job and I know that my coding skills are getting rusty now. I hope I am still up to speed when the right opportunity comes around.
