David Lee at Wetoku Interviews Me
Yesterday BlogWorld Exhibitor and Wetoku VP of sales David Lee asked me a few questions using their new video service. It was pretty lag free and despite both of us having lousy web cams the quality looks pretty good to me. That is except for both of us having a bad hair day. At least [...]
