I stumbled across your site and was like, wow! Because I happen to be reading your book right now. I work with the Social Network Team at my job, so your advice comes in handy.

Example: Can I use the " Japanese way od folding a T-Shirt?" or must I come up with something I've located? Tamar, this is great information. I stumbled across your site and was like, wow!
