RT @jaosullivanx: Q3: Verify the numbers, but also get your boots on the ground. Do they fit in with what you see in the community?#wjchat

@KelseyProud How do you verify? What does that mean to you?#wjchat

@gotoplanb Good ? about figuring out what the "right" numbers are. For me, it's really about finding the BEST and most relevant data#wjchat

@KelseyProud Love how you said "best" and not "correct". There always can be better numbers. Use the best, acknowledge limitations.#wjchat

Q1 As with multimedia "doing" data "just to do it" is not so great. The key is using data, and the RIGHT data for each story.#wjchat

Since I'm not going to#SXSW this year, I'm gonna have to ignore a huge group of folks for the next couple of weeks. Sigh.
