Loved “The three-part litmus test….” quote in The Hoovers Business Insider, Issue 4, May 2009.

Do I have your permission to print a single copy? If yes, how do you want me to cite the quotation? Please advise.

Ella — I’d quote from or link back to the original post on this blog, which is here:

http://www.hooversbiz.com/2009/05/07/the-three-part-litmus-test-for-social-media-and-everything-else/

Cite it along the lines of “Tim Walker, writing on the Hoover’s Business Insight Zone blog . . .”

Cheers!

Where can one find your upcoming speaking engagements, in case, one were to want to catch a presentation? :)

Good question, @shoogie — I haven’t been systematic enough about posting a schedule.
