She’s also the wonderful Southern belle, that in a unique sequence of events, catalyzed the birth of The Connections Show - following an introduction to Vint Cerf, a prominent figure (who is frequently referred to as ‘The Father of the Internet’) - and himself a recent guest on The Connections Show.
Since Cynthia was indirectly responsible for the show’s inception, it’s only fitting that she and I got together for one last chat - to say ‘Good Bye’ to the show and all the loyal listeners that have provided support and encouragement along the way.
Join us, in this, the final episode of The Connections Show, as Cynthia and I discuss some of the many developments that have occured over the last 18 months, as well as some of the new technologies and possibilities that lie ahead in Social Networking.
