Who dares call himself the Web
Connoisseur? Before
making judgments, we must first define what a Web Connoisseur is. A Web
Connoisseur is part Internet Strategist, Online Marketing Expert, Webmaster, Web
Editor, Web Designer, Usability Analyst, Search Engine Optimizer, Viral
Marketer, Web Analytics Guru, Programmer,
Writer and long-time Internet consumer - that's a lot of parts!
This person has the unique ability to look at Web sites from all possible
angles.
How many Web Connoisseurs exist?
There can be only
one (think Highlander). Okay... my ego isn't really bigger than the
collective pride
of Texas, but I like to think that I am a rare breed.
Enough with the
formalities. My name is Dustin Woodard and I live near Seattle (I
would say I live in Washington, but I've learned from my travels that people
think the Washington only exists on the east coast,
but everyone knows where Seattle is).
