The Boston-based Internet inbound marketing company Hubspot recently started its own version of Vanity Fair’s Proust questionnaire (which was evidently inspired by the answers Marcel Proust gave to party questionnaires when he was 13 and 20). They asked me to complete it a little while ago and I jumped at the chance to pay back CEO Brian Halligan, who spoke to my MBA class and invited me to a Sox game this summer.
I liked the questions very much, and hope I did them justice. My responses have just been posted on Hubspot’s web site. Check them out if you’re interested, and leave a comment there or here to let us know what you think.

Many thanks for participating. I thought your answers were brilliant.
It looks like folks are commenting on it a bit, btw.
Bh.
I only have one thing to say about your answers: my Jura Capresso Impressa E8 will make you think your Nespresso is a Mr. Coffee.
Not only is the E8 fully automated and finely tuned to brew at the right temperature and pressure, but it also allows you to select your own favorite brand of whole bean coffee. (Pods, schmods.) The result is a perfect espresso with a perfect crema. I had to go all the way to Italy to find a better shot.
I’ve always held your views on E2.0 in high esteem but now I know not to take you seriously when it comes to coffee.

Device you would never give up – your espresso machine? LOL Coffee users anonymous maybe.
Just Kidding. I would never give up my PC, totally addicted to Inet and all its facets. Don’t think I could live without it if I tried.
