Say something nice about Gil Hildebrand
What a great opportunity! Here's what I said:
Gil goes by two completely accurate and Linchpin-worthy nicknames: "Gil to the Rescue" and "Inspector Gil". Gil is without a doubt one of the key linchpins at Squidoo, living up to those names every day.

- Reflecting back on IT all, I have been rather blessed to get to know such a FINE "young" man with brains known as GiltotheRescue! What a remarkable guy!

- The photo of Gil on a mountain talking about Squidoo is possibly the best photo op ever. Gil is da man.

- Great story about the mountaintop phone call!
I'm not sure if this is true, but apparently Gil has quite the following on SquidU. They think he's good looking or something...

- Gil is nice AND effective. Not sure why I thought those two things were mutually exclusive!

- If Gil says it, it's true. No discussion. What a treat to work with him. He's an evil genius!

My favorite "Gil to the Rescue" story

A couple of years ago, Gil was on vacation and we ran into a pretty big problem with Squidoo's servers. So I called him.
He told me he was on top of a mountain, but he'd ski down, grab his laptop and fix it.
It took less than 30 minutes before Squidoo was back in action.
I found out later someone snapped a photo of Gil talking to me that day...
