Des is a fellow Aussie. And we reckon that out of the 1000 odd attendees at Blogworld, there were only 4 Aussies in the audience. One apparently is a permanent resident, so that technically doesn’t count. Actually, it was also rumoured that he now lives in Des Moine, which sort of says it all really. Ok, I made that bit up.

Anyway, Des is a breath of fresh air in the technology space. He’s passionate, knowledgeable and definitely older than 23! Which makes me feel better after seeing Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook and Matt Mullenweg from Wordpress, who incidentally, are both 23.

I’m not even holding the fact that Des lives on the Gold Coast against him. He obviously has his reasons for living there - which make no sense to a Melbournian like me.

Des writes a blog (in fact a couple), but his Thinking Home Business blog is ranked as the 33rd most popular blog in Australia, according to The Top 100 Aussie Blog Index.

If you need to hire a consultant to teach your organisation about Social Media, then Des is your man. Companies like AMP in Australia already have.
