My 3 Paragraphs Of Fame

Even been shoved into the public spotlight without knowing it? Yeah, that was me today.

I spoke to a journo from the Sydney Morning Herald about a week ago. He found me though MacTalk after asking about businesses using iPads as business tools.
I responded to him thinking that he was just grabbing some information to put into and article and that would be that, but it seems that was not the case. He grabbed my phone number from me and rang me at the beginning of last week to have a chat, little did I know that he would quote me in this article that was published today.
We had a chat about how the company that I work for had ordered iPads to use as mobile quoting devices, and how it saves time and money by streamlining processes and more.

Fast forward to today, and as I’m pulling into my driveway, I get a phone call from the General Manager. He started off by joking about how I was now the appointed media contact, and how I was going to put him out of a job, etc, etc. All the while, I’m sitting there going “huh?”. I asked him what he was going on about, and when he told me it all came back to me. I don’t know how, but in the space of a week, I had somehow forgot that I had spoken to the journo.
Anyway, I came inside the house and jumped on the computer, sure enough I had an email from the journo telling me that the article was published today, to which he provided a link.

The power of the internet is amazing.
