    Hi Matt,

    Trying to email you about a new (and real/sincere) opportunity and can’t track down an email address. Tried various email addresses to no avail.

    Thanks,

    Your article on Folk Taxonomy REALLY contributed to my overall undertsanding and helped me complete a paper for my Natural Sciences class on “The meaning and validity of species and classification systems”. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Matt,
    I recently attended your preso on IA for the BA at BAworld09 Sydney…I thought it was easily one of the better presos of the conference.

    I’ve become really interested in IA and while I’m only just starting to understand it I think its a huge gap in my companies set of skills.
    I’m after any suggestions on courses or books that provide a better understanding on the subject that I could use to better articulate the discipline to my company and also better my understanding.
    I found my way on to a number of websites about the topic but thought it would be a good idea to get any directions from yourself.

    Much appreciated if you could drop me an email at joey.moriana@gmail.com.

    Thanks
    Joey

    I am the GovLoop Blog Outreach coordinator and I just wanted to send you a quick note asking if you’d consider cross-posting your awesome blog postings on GovLoop. GovLoop is a government focused online community that was bourne out of the Department of Homeland Security and has grown to become a community of more than 20,000 people. American bloggers like Gwynne Kostin and Steve Radick are already cross-posting with a quick copy-paste, significantly increasing their readership and exposure and getting them in front of additional smart government innovators.

    FYI, pulling from RSS feeds currently isn’t possible with our technology but is on our roadmap as we evolve. We totally understand that it is kind of a pain to copy/paste but we hope you take the minute to post and hopefully access some great discussions with our large community of federal folks. Keep writing phenomenal postings and we really hope to see them on our site soon. Our community would love your insightful and thought provoking writing!

    Keep being awesome and let me know if you have any questions!
