You can meet people on the internet

Brad met Joe on the internet. This sounds like the beginning of some bromance dating site, but it's not. Brad met Joe after he left a comment on Brad's blog. They later met in person, and one thing lead to another, and now they're in business together. This is proof that your best future business partners may be one of your current Twitter friends.

And that's just the kind of team that you want working on your social media campaign. Brad and Joe make up BlueFuego, and they're helping some of the nation's top higher ed marketers connect with their students like never before.

They not only connected on the internet, they work in the cloud, too. With both partners on the road 90% of the time (judging from their tweet-streams, anyway) why should they have an office at all? They don't. They're an outstanding example of how you can now operate a business in the cloud. They're not just talking about it - they're doing it.

We've been internet friends with the BlueFuego boys for a while now, and finally got to meet them together, in person. (Especially ironic because @FJGaylor lives in the same state as Plaid.) Yep - sometimes the internet makes it easier to meet halfway across the country.

Who are you going to meet on the internet?

Meet Joe at Twitter.com/FJGaylor, and Brad at Twitter.com/BradJWard and the BlueFuego crew at their main site or on Facebook, and see them in the PlaidNation wrapup video for Indianapolis.
