Marjie, Thanks for the kind words. I'll miss being around you, Tom, and the Milwaukee Twitter network, but I am sure we'll stay in touch in 140-character bites!

Augie, no doubt you are headed for a well deserved adventure of a lifetime. I've appreciated the opportunity we've had (thanks to social media) to get to know you and also Geri. You're good people! ;)

Zachery, thanks for the welcome!

Vicki, I appreciate the wishes!

And Josh, I appreciate the comment. I never thought when I was speaking with you and Sean those months ago that I might soon get the chance to work with you two. I'm very excited for that opportunity!

A happy ending to our online conversation!

Congratulations! (Although I have to say I am insanely jealous that you'll be basking in warmth while the rest of us Midwesterners freeze in the coming winter months!)

Enjoy the ride on your great new adventure!

Congrats to you Augie, you're going to a very exciting company, working with some of the best minds in the space, and covering an explosive industry.

Congrats to Forrester for an excellent new hire, and to Augie for his exciting journey!

That's a great question, Ari! I asked it myself (although I have no complaints about the opportunity to experience the Bay area after a lifetime of Milwaukee winters.)

Forrester has some terrific Social- and Interactive-focused analysts already (such as Nate Elliott, Josh Bernoff, Sean Corcoran, Emily Riley, Peter Sargent, and others), but they are mostly located on the east coast. Forrester is interested in someone on the left coast for purposes of consulting and building relationships with clients on that side of the country.

While I agree Social Media permits us to accomplish more of these sorts of things with less physical contact, I also think there's a lot of benefit to face-to-face meetings and relationships. And, of course, clients often want to spend time with analysts in person versus the phone or teleconference.

So, my intended focus out of the Foster City office will be on marketing organizations and agencies on the west coast.

Ari, perhaps we'll get to meet when I visit Forrester in Cambridge in the future. I assume you aren't too far from the Boston area, are you?

Can you shed some light why a social computing person needs to relocate?
