People are constantly asking me: What ever happened to everyone at BlueLine Marketing?  (and that is usually followed by “what happened TO BlueLine?” and “wow, you guys were WAY ahead of the curve“)

For those that don’t know: BlueLine Marketing was a word-of-mouth marketing company based in Boise, Idaho.  We were preaching, teaching & selling what is now Social Media to companies that “got it”…there were not many.  Things happened and doors closed in December 2007.

Mike Boss: At Mike’s request: “It would be great if you would leave out the stuff about my time in rehab, although my two years as a soldier of fortune is OK.” No worries Mike, your secret is safe with me my friend.
Mike lost his job back in November as MPC Computer’s PR Manager, is currently taking the inspiration and tools he gained from his BlueLine days and applying is BYOM (Be Your Own Media) model to the creation of a social media association for independently owned culinary businesses (www.behindthemenu.org).  He remains determined that the business model for this endeavor should be as innovative as the tools and techniques that make it possible to begin with.  In the meantime, as a self-acknowledged unemployed bum, he believes you should feel free to buy him lunch whenever possible and at least feign interest in his goofy ideas.  His mother will bless you for those small acts of kindness.
