What Have Jack Humphrey & Willie Crawford Got in Common?
By TheAntiHype | June 11, 2008
Hi, I don't remember seeing you here before. If you're new here, welcome. If you despise the hype on the net as much as me & like a laugh, keep up to date with my latest posts by subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! The Anti Hype
Call me a sad old Anti Hype if you must but this week two particular things raised my spirits.
I wrote a short post about Utility Poster and the owner of the program, none other than Jack Humphrey himself (see Authority Site Center) took the time to visit this blog and personally post his thanks for the review and links.
And then today, the legendary Willie Crawford started following me on Twitter.
Now I have no way of knowing whether this is because Willie reads Guru Fodder or whether he is just adding to the number of people he follows. My guess is he’s busy enough without aimlessly following people so I can only assume he has an eye on me – Hi Willie 
Now the real reason I’m chuffed about these events is that not only have two high profile guys shown some interest in me but the online life can be a little lonely when you’re not sure who really is paying any notice of what you are doing. To get confirmation that you’re not just talking into thin air is very encouraging.
Thanks guys – I’ll try not to say bad things about you!!
The Anti Hype
P.S. If it’s good enough for Willie Crawford maybe it’s good enough for you! Follow me on Twitter.

Yes, I do actually follow you, and read your blog.
It’s what I do in my spare time, in between speaking
or attending 4 internet marketing seminars in June,
and scheduling several 1-2 day workshops with local
businesses (teaching them ecommerce), helping to
launch 2 of my own products, and doing about 15
recorded interviews and dozens of radio shows, it’s
how I keep busy.
I do follow fewer than 500 people on Twitter. It’s
a way to keep up with what’s going on

Well bless my soul! Thank you for taking the time to “reply” to my post Willie. Now that’s what I call busy! BTW you forgot to mention forum posting! Mark

It’s pretty easy to watch the web for your name, products, services, etc. with Google Alerts.
It makes it possible for really busy people to drop by and say hi. Its good business all around to do so and we’re no less busy than anyone else online.
So why don’t more marketing “experts” do it? Might be an idea for your next piece.
I’ll be reading!
As long as your name’s not John Smith!! You’re 100% right. I visit the site of everyone who comments here and I’m more likely to talk positively about those who take the time to be “real” than someone who leaves a “spammy” comment. I know that’s just what you teach – I am listening! And thanks for the thought about the next piece. Mark

I send the spam to the deep sea, and yes real people make a blog so much more interesting.
Forge onwards and upwards…thanks for the insights Mark.
Teris last blog post..Massage Your Dog for Health
Even after my list purge I’m unsubscribing at the rate of at least 4 a day – I’ve never even heard of most of the senders!! I may start a “who’s the most famous person even to visit your blog” contest. Royalty, rock stars etc etc Mark
