The influence of social media is felt everywhere these days! I have heard from a ton of folks over the last few days congratulating me on my new position with Socialtext (thank you!) and many questions about my short stint with Telligent. Firstly, I am not going to deride Telligent or speculate negatively about the company. This is about me, not them 
It probably helps, therefore to understand how the last few months played out in my world.
When I left Jive, I jumped on the opportunity for an overdue extended holiday in dear Tassie with my loved ones. This decided, I snagged a bargain airfare and booked the trip before having a solid path to my next position. The end result was that I had literally 10 days to pull the trigger, and was still undecided right up until a couple of days before I left.
Given this climate of rush timing and pressure I ended up with a couple of possible viable options, one of which was Telligent. Based on what I’d seen, I made the call to accept the offer. Over the last few months, however I realized that I needed to be with a company better aligned with my work ethic, sales process/philosophy and personal long term goals. After an exhaustive due diligence process, I settled on Socialtext (thankfully, they also settled on me!)
I would like to thank all of the talented, hard working, smart and fun Telligent folks I came to know in my time there. You know who you are – I’m looking forward to staying in touch with y’all on Facebook and Twitter… social media strikes again! Drop me a line if you’re coming my way
