That simply shows the awesome power of networking. I like the idea you used with Michael Arrington - free help. Many would have asked for a lot of money and probably lose out in the end. You did it for him for free and he wanted to help you out in return - good Karma, I'd say. Good to hear how it ended up so sweetly... with you smiling to the bank at the end of the day, :) Hmmm, that’s a very important question – “how many veins have I taped into”.
