Interestingly too, I just carried out a search at Google for &quot;gryo flying nz&quot; and this blog is returned as the #1 listing. That&#39;s a testament that speaks for itself.

I sensed something was up when I saw the looks change to wide grins and then unmasked, choking mirth! Needless to say, the objective was achieved (in spades Tony) and as one of the attendees described it on their feedback sheet "great workshop - the section on blogs was truly memorable”.<BR/><BR/>So thankyou Tony for making the point (or better two points...) that blogs are a compelling medium and great way to generate dialogue. Thankyou too for bringing a little sunshine into all of our lives.<BR/><BR/>Go well until next time my friend and safe travels in between.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Hamish<BR/><BR/>PS As another (less pointed) testament to the power of blogs you may be interested to note that a search at google.co.nz (radio button "the world") for the words “gyro flying Tauranga” produces page 1 returns for both your blog and your website – interestingly too the blog is #1 in the list and higher than your website – another clear indication of why more more businesses should do this.Hamishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14160135905918971561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733180734401751814.post-20213907476568016032008-06-26T19:21:00.000+12:002008-06-26T19:21:00.000+12:00Tony - Thanks a heap for this, it really livened up Hamish's IT class but Hamish couldn't concentrate for some considerable time after seeing this, he certainly didn't need the heaters on!!<BR/>Shirley - Class attendeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
