I have known Greg Pincus for many years. He is funny, kind and a great presenter on the topic of Social Media. I highly recommend his blog The Happy Accident,  and SCBWI chapters anywhere would be wise to hire him for their conferences. I recently had the opportunity to attend a cyber promotion retreat where Greg was on the faculty. He graciously agreed to give us a Cyber Tip of the Day.
