Nice Read

Great story on a "great story."

Fairness

Really trying to be fair with Cruil & Knol both debuting. I really don't get cruil. Unrelated images ... zero search results. And an awful braind name ... ick! Knol is ok. I like the idea of having to take responsibility for what you post, but have seen a ton of people just reposting existing stuff. Kinda sad. I want to see what the next Twitter, Facebook or Interesting Blog like Ted's Take will be.

Lifelong learning

I have really been trying to dig into the blogosphere and the social media world this week. There is a ton to learn. I feel fortunate that my personal & professional networks offer some great experts!

Keywords

Transparency - Huge in terms of displaying it as an organization and as an individual. Hidden agendas are for the birds.

Real - do what you say and say what you do. Clearly. Avoid buzzwords and current/trendy terms. And if ytou can't say it in a sentence ... start over.

Find your passion

Something interesting to think about. Having just had a lightbulb go in my head recently about my career ... I think it has to do with passion. To be happy at work (where you spend the VAST majority of your time), you MUST have passion for what you do, your brand, your function, your work product ... something.

Now I just have to settle in and develop a plan to be able to do just that!
