WOW.  I thought if he was cut in half, I would read "google"  like in a piece of rock.

Added.. I am a Muppet. Hook line and sinker.  Completely ignored Jasons warning

Kind of reminds you of how people leave govt positions to be become lobbyists - companies are willing to pay huge amounts for their address book and connections.

Not to say Matt doesn't know a ton about SEO and wouldn't be a great hire even without his connections, just saying that it seems like a close parallel.

"Somebody played an April Fool's joke on me too--they didn't even tell me they were going to do that prank press release before they published it.."
