Tod runs the CBC Facebook group where he casually answers questions from the general public and promotes the CBC projects he thinks are worth promoting.

But he shouldn’t be sleeping too soundly. One eye open might be the order of the day.

CBCType: Interesting that Facebook reserves the right to take away your vanity URL if a properly-credentialed brand with rights requests that URL

    You guys are just jealous; don’t you know that Todd is a social media maven, keynote speaker, broadcaster and writer? A maven goddammit!!! How many mavens do you know? How many people do you know brave enough to refer to themselves as maven? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

    Tod operates in the future.
    He has already pioneered a new social media/marketing experience, and already abandoned it.
    If you look closely, you’ll see he’s not actually doing anything for the CBC.
    In fact, it’s become fairly clear to most people that he offers nothing of any real value.
    Apart from the amusement of his pathetic flim flam.

    If I understand correctly, El Tod merely canvassed potential business partners (and, I suppose, friends) to see who would like to toast his accomplishments at a future ’œTweetup.’ How one shrinks from the very word.

    So no, I don’™t think he’™s been in town yet. Coffee in Leslieville, Tod? You’™re buying.

    I guess it was bound to happen. What did he expect?

    So is this why he was in Toronto recently?
