So I meant to write about this a few days ago, but it’s been nuts here at the Evans compound. On Wednesday, I had my first real taste of the results (fruits? consequences?) of having people actually read the things one posts in cyberspace. First, I had tweeted comments on the Pharma Marketing News blog in response to Johnny Mac’s idea that somehow Pfizer changed their ad campaign because of him. I like JM and met him once, but he tends to amp up the hyperbole from time to time. I felt compelled to set the record straight, at least a little bit. My posts were quoted and he wrote a follow up about it. You can read it here. What’s funny is he copied and pasted my typo too.

Shortly after that I tweeted my Twitter followers asking if anyone had a Manhattan Research account, as there was a piece of data I desperately needed and didn’t want or need to pay for the whole study. Much to my surprise, a few hours later Manhattan Research emailed me. A few phone calls later they provided me with the information I so badly needed. I didn’t think they were followers, so someone passed along my request. It was very helpful and awfully nice of them to respond.

Way to go internet!
