Mortensen http://visualrevenue.com/blog/?p=716 As I walk cheerfully down 6th Avenue, on my way to the Yahoo! 18th street office this Saturday morning, I stop by a red light, well, first, because you are supposed to (I believe), but mostly because I am hand in hand with my two daughters. In this obviously selfish action by me, I slow down a chap behind me, who in all his wisdom, lets me know what a jerk I am! I’ll be honest with you – this is not the first time somebody on the streets of New York have let me know their feelings about my traffic maneuvering choices ;-)

This got me thinking about how we choose to label each other, and how that is coming through the recent launched twitter lists. So before assembling a posse and hunting down my new friend from JCPenny; I thought I would collect all the lists my twitter followers use for me. You can see the result of this in a tag cloud below (I used wordle.net to create it):

So it seems like, I might actually be less of a Jerk and more of an analytics person. Personally I am fond of the terms sexy and data nerd. Ha!. (Perhaps they are actually conflicting labels though.. hmm). The other cool thing is that my blog is supposed to be about Analytics, Media and Marketing. Close eh?

Have a great weekend.. I am off for a walk around Chelsea (with the same two girls and traffic standards).

Cheers :-)
