I have published a political newsletter for many years. Several years ago I decided to distribute the newsletter through the Internet. After being disappointed with the work of several other Internet consultants I was referred to Mac Slocum. My relationship with him has turned out to be everything I hoped for and then some. Mac designed the Web site (www.mikeswashingtonwatch.com) and the manner in which the material is presented. He selected all of the relevant providers including the company that maintains the list of those folks who receive it. The content is often time sensitive. I could not ask for speedier handling than the speed with which he formats my content and has it in the "mail boxes" of my subscribers. I am totally comfortable recommending his work without reservation.

My day-to-day editor on two O'Reilly research projects, Mac consistently provided much-needed insight and care (it was my writing, after all!) while maintaining his commitment to high-quality analysis and communication. Even when we faced tight deadlines, Mac never settled for "good enough", offering observations and asking questions that challenged both of us to rethink the structure, content and tone of various parts of our work. Combining a natural curiosity for how things work (and might work), a journalist's appreciation for the risk involved in research and writing, and an editor's respect for the reader, Mac turned our collaboration into a voyage of discovery. His attention to detail made me want to do better work, and when times were tough, he also made me laugh.

Mac Slocum has been providing Web development services for the journalism department at Emerson College for many years. As a Web developer and journalist himself, Mac truly understands our business and the intersection of journalism and technology. Mac is up on the latest technological developments and is always willing to talk shop with us. In this day and age it's all about content, and in our case digital storytelling. Mac gets this. He consistently exceeds our expectations in terms of turn-around time and quality.

Mac is a true innovator and educator. He's got that keen eye for what the people want. He is very original, but always manages to deliver his ideas/points with no BS, in a concise, easy and entertaining manner. It's truly a pleasure being involved in his endeavors. He not only gets the big picture -- he draws up the blueprints!

-- Rachel Cericola, Writer and Editor

Mac has an excellent sense of Web publishing, a strong referral network, a great sense of humor and meticulous ethics. He provided expert help when we transitioned a recently purchased Web site and helped us retain and improve our search rankings for the new site, while also getting us established with a hosting solution. Additionally, we joined his irreverent Fodder Network and have had great results as a member of the network. I recommended him to another business and they continue to express their appreciation of his talents.

-- Kathryn Hamm, Entrepreneur

In hindsight, it is astounding how singularly accessible Mac Slocum was to my every question and need during my tenure at TV Fodder. From urgent questions to simple suggestions, Mac was always willing to help me during my time on his site. He is everything you could ask for in a boss, an owner and a colleague.
