I really love watching how people's tone change after posting a negative comment here and getting a personal response from Gary himself. The is exactly what Gary talks about doing in his books - glad to see it's effective when put into action.

He's done it to me a couple of times, but I'll get to that wino in the end. At least he practices some of what he preaches and even though I see little value in his past activities, aside from self-promotion, he's persistent enough to remain relevant to the conversation as long as you don't lose sight of the fact that he's a consultant selling you his opinion.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

PhD is not from the science realm. The PhD was originally about theology, law and medicine. It was co-opted by scientists less than two centuries ago.

The PhD was usually for anything exept the higher faculties theology, medicine, and law, which had the Th.D., M.D. and LL.D. instead.

http://twitter.com/#!/garyvee Nothing else, he has 850k followers on Twitter. Mostly organic. I think it is safe to say, 99.5% of "Social Media Experts" do not have 500k+ followers.

He actually replies to every single person who contacts him (via email or whatever medium). Kind of scary.

He doesn't reply to every single person.

I can tell you that as I've reached out twice from the UK. I was trying to buy 150 copies of TYE!

I'm a big fan, but his star lost some of its sparkle when I didn't get a response.

Maybe your email spamboxed? Did you try calling his mobile? http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/25/gary-vaynerchuk-thank-you/
