Had been meaning to come back and say a final "thank you."

Chris did win the Shorty Award for Social Media!

This award is just starting, but because the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is behind the awards, it's got a good chance of sticking around and growing.

Now if only there was a Nobel Prize in Social Media ;-)

Thanks again to everybody who chipped in and for continuing to support #smchat

All my best,

Julian
