]]> http://pushmyfollow.com/2008/04/episode-3/feed/ Thank you! http://pushmyfollow.com/2008/04/thank-you/ http://pushmyfollow.com/2008/04/thank-you/#comments Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:41:07 +0000 Annie http://pushmyfollow.com/?p=8 SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Thank you!", url: "http://pushmyfollow.com/2008/04/thank-you/" });]]> Thanks everyone for the fantastic feedback so far! We hear you and we’re working on improving both the show and the show notes.

Unlike probably most other podcasts, there wasn’t a lot of pre-planning. We’re fortunate to have Mike, an experienced podcaster who is recording and editing the show (and trust me, editing this group is a big job!) But most of us are learning as we go.

Your comments help, so please keep them coming, either here or via twitter.
