On January 16th 2013, Ed Fry announced that Inbound.org would be introducing Ask Me Anything (AMA) threads, starting with the mighty Rand Fishkin, one of the founders of the site. As I type this, there have been three official AMAs to date (by “official” I mean announced by the Inbound.org team – I thought I’d make this point as some people have created their own AMAs). However, as there isn’t a dedicated category for them and the three so far have been submitted in different categories, there’s no easy way to keep track of them all.* So I thought I’d start a list…
* You could do a Google search such as site:inbound.org “ask me anything”, but for the purposes of this post, we’ll pretend that’s not an option, okay?
Interestingly, while researching this post, I found out that Jonathan Colman was the one who first came up with the idea for AMAs for Inbound.org – inspired by Reddit – in this thread (I can’t link to the comment directly, so you’ll have to scroll down).
Anywhere, here’s the list, which will be updated as-and-when new AMAs take place. Please feel free to check back if you miss one or want to refer back to an old one!

I’m a big fan of AMAs – it’s the only thing I use Reddit for. The one Inbound did with Rand Fishkin was pretty cool so keep them coming!
