Diane Mizota and Chaton Turner chat at the BlogHer'12 Conference (#BlogHer)

Diane is a delight.  I really hope to collaborate with her in the future. (Diane, can you hear me?!) I met her through Rachel Blaufeld from "Backngroovemom" who has is a major "connector" ala Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. She seems to know everyone and has been kind enough to to introduce me people in her network. Thanks Rachel!
Enjoy the video!
