Breakfast With Greg Yardley

Yesterday morning when I was at Cafe Metro on 5th and 52nd in NYC I had breakfast with Greg Yardley. Greg and I have swapped many an email and IM in the past and yesterday was the first time we actually had a chance to meet face to face. That's always a bit awkward since you have this idea what somebody looks like in your head and then you meet them and they look nothing like what you thought they would look like. I can't really say that about Greg, he's about what I expected with was strangely comforting.

He and I chatted about the interesting things going on in a few neat little internet cubby holes. I'm not sure whether or not I'm allowed to say who Greg's working for or what that company's up to and he's not online right now [and I'm too lazy to call his cell to confer w/him] so I'll defer til I get approval. I can say that he's working with some pretty cool folks on a new frontier of the internet, data sharing and marketing. Nuff said, more on that later.

If you happen to stop by Greg's blog then I recommend reading his thoughts on the new Yahoo Shopping API. Pretty interesting and that API is going to be quite amazing.
