Today is the first in what I hope will be a fun series that originates on Twitter, which I'm calling: Shotgun Interviews. Follow me at @gussent.

A couple times a week, I'll put out the call via Twitter for a person in Maryland technology that you want me to interview. It's my job to scramble and hunt them down that same day and ask them three questions (feel free to suggest questions in your tweets to me.)

The first Shotgun Interview is with Amy Webb, who runs Webbmedia Group, a Baltimore-based digital strategy consultancy that deals with Fortune 500 companies.

I caught up with her by phone just a few moments ago, and asked her three questions:

Gus: So what are you working on right now?

Amy: We are advising on a project that's been in the news a lot lately. And I am preparing a report that offers our advice (to the client) on how to move forward with the next step. [Alas, Amy couldn't publicize her client's name.]

Gus: You could be living anywhere and running your business. Why are you in Baltimore?

Amy: Because my husband is here. He is a third-generation optometrist and his grandmother was the first female optometrist in the state of Maryland. I'm here because of him... But of all the cities that I've lived in, I really like this city alot. [Some other cities she's lived in include: Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Tokyo and Hong Kong.] I like being in Baltimore and I've gotten to know the tech community, but yeah, I could do this from anywhere. It's not as hard as it used to be.

Gus: How was 2009 for you and your business?

Amy: Without trying to sound like I'm gloating, we actually had a fairly fantastic year. I brought on new staff. We currently have a waiting list for new clients. We expanded. But this is also a good time to do what I do...Knock on wood, I see that trend growing. Personally, it was a good year too. Work is about 99 percent of what I do. I got to a couple of yoga classes, I took a kind of vacation.

Thanks, Amy for being my first Shotgun Interview!!
