I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Jim Bower at the Ypulse Tween Mashup the other day. He’s the CEO of Whyville who takes a very thoughtful approach to what he’s doing (if that sounds intriguing, check out this Internet Marketing Voodoo podcast for more).

“We’re not interested in eyeballs, we’re interested in eyeballs connected to brains.”
