Drew is the best of the best. I only knew him through the SF social circle prior to SXSW but he and I hung out in Austin and I have to say that he's got the passion, skills and community to do a great job at GOGII. Congrats to Drew and I wish him the best of luck.

Drew is very cool. I first met him at podcamp philly he did a talk on Twitter, this was in 2007. He is very in touch with the community! GOGII is very lucky to have him.

Congrats Drew-bics-cube! Can't believe how long it's been since we were filming the Best Damn Tech Show in the office in Chester.

I'm still amazed that this ReadBurner brand I created in a weekend project continues to appear on big networks even if it's not online anymore.

cheers,
Alex
