'The ability to interact online, as a tangible way of pursuing an education and a career, changed my life. I know that sounds overly dramatic, but it is the honest truth.

A couple of weeks ago, I was getting ready to speak at the Ragan PR Measurement Summit here in DC (it was excellent, really, and I’m not just saying that because I was on the roster). My panel – also featuring Sandra Fathi of Affect and Ashley Pettit of Southwest Airlines – was on March 20.
