While Rebecca and I were in New York this past week, we sat down with Michael McDonald of WebProNews to discuss some social media issues. While Rebecca is upset that she has a large strand of hair partially covering her face, and I’m amused at the awful look on my face in the embedded player, we didn’t come across too badly on the film so we decided to post it here.

Many thanks to Michael for conducting a great interview, especially given the number of people he sat down in front of the camera with during the week. There seemed to be hardly a moment when the WebProNews camera wasn’t rolling and Mike had his microphone in front of somebody.  So, even though it isn’t Friday and we didn’t have a white board on hand, we hope you’ll enjoy Rebecca’s and my eight minutes and forty-nine seconds of fame…

I’ve got to say that I’m immensely proud of Rebecca. When she first applied here at SEOmoz, we failed to even call her back for a second interview.

Recently, however, she’s put together a project of immense proportion, deserving of praise - SEOmoz’s new premium article, “The Professional’s Keyword Research Guide.” Rebecca and I built a detailed outline for the article together, but over many edits and re-edits and combinations of our writing, it turned into an enormous, 75-page behemoth on the subject. I blame myself for the girth - we’d put together something brief and valuable and I’d want more. Rebecca dug deep, I dug deep and then I made her dig deeper. She ruthlessly scraped every piece of value and function from 10 different keyword tools, dove into the world of keyword targeting and wrote an ode to brainstorming that would make Dan Thies blush.
