   Thanks for the plug. There’s a good chance I’d still be just another geek in a cube nobody’s heard of if not for you and Benn – THANK YOU!

   Lani – awesome list (and thank you for including Ryan, me, and Powered). I’ve saved this on del.icio.us and bookmarked it locally for reference material on my laptop.

   Great list, Lani!

   In the Austin Technology category, I’d like to offer two Emerson blogs in a “Process Automation” subcategory. I author the Emerson Process Experts blog (www.EmersonProcessXperts.com) and Greg McMillan & Terry Blevins author the Modeling and Control blog (www.modelingandcontrol.com).

   Take it easy, Jim

    Lani and team — Awesome list, and sincere thanks for the shout-out, I really appreciate it. Methinks that Twitter should invent the equivalent of OPML files for follower lists so that I can import in batches as per above (Austin Retail, Austin HR, etc.) Anyway — great work, and we’ve been perusing the list all day;)

    Wow! Nice work. I’m thrilled you included me, Lani, & honored to be amongst such excellent local luminaries.

    Unfortunately, must let ya know that John McElhenney (@jmacofearth) is no longer at Dell as of yesterday. He’s exploring his next opportunity, so if ya hear of something interesting in the Social Media space please let him know.

    Oh, and Eugene Hsu hasn’t been at Dell since last year. He’s now at Challenge Games. Of course, still taking great photos of all of us at Social Media events…

    Take care & see ya around soon!

    – Ricardo Guerrero

    P.S. Got some cool projects in the works I hope will get me noticed in the Marketing/PR or Startup sections next time. hehe ;D
    (Stwittergy & another one that’s in stealth mode but has to do with @AustinTweets.)

    Just noticed @JoshuaBaer doesn’t appear to be on your list. He’s behind OtherInbox.com & some Austin startup initiatives, so would be in Technology or Startups also. Plus, he just got a bright orange Tesla electric sports car, so if ya see one around that’s probably him!

    There’s also Kevin Koym’s co-conspirator at Tech Ranch, @JonasLamis.

    Oh, 2 more:

    @LionelatDell (Lionel Menchaca) is Dell’s chief blogger, a super nice guy, & pretty active on Twitter.

    @incslinger (Simon Salt) blogs & consults about Social Media & Twitter.

    BTW- It was @LPT’s (Laura Thomas) birthday on Thurs & tomorrow (Sunday) is @RichardatDell’s (Richard Binhammer) b-day. Be sure to wish ‘em well.
