    Smart of them to snatch you up. Congratulations!

    So excited for you, Chris. You deserve every success. I wonder if BSF knows what they've gotten themselves into… :)

    Wow. So awesome and such a smart move. Congratulations, Chris! And congratulations, Greg!

    Nicely done. Any details on the new position? Look out, Lyris!

    Me, I'm still hoping this is a joke and you're gonna reveal that you're the new lead social media ninja at Friendster.

    Ha!

    I'll be officially the VP of Strategy and Innovation, but there will be a little of everything going on.

    The sentiment is the same here, madame!

    I am so jealous of Greg and the whole BSF team. I hope they know what they are getting. Every company needs a Ninja… but you're like THE NINJA! Major congrats my friend. It has been a honor to watch you grow and evolve. Just make sure you still have time for Media Hacks!
