Whistle Stops – 06/07/06

Lots of stops on this train ride, but every one a gem:

FeedBurner, TypePad to Link Blog Feeds by Steve Rubel at Micro Persuasion: Very cool! These are two of my favorite tools and I drive people here. A simple way to embed Technorati Tags would be a nice next step (and a shopping cart!)
IABC International Conference: Shel Holtz by Joseph Thornley at ProPr: Another great rundown. Funny thing – The International Conference is talking about the "Social Media Press Release," yet at a local gathering today, a speaker from PRNewswire didn’t bring it up (it’s okay though – I brought copies).
Ways to Distinguish Yourself # 136: Never take people for granted by Rajesh Setty at Life Beyond Code: Let’s see 1+3+6=10. This tip on a scale? A "10"
Top 10 Stock Photo clichés by Nick Rice at Strategic Design: The whole cast is at forty media, but Nick knows what he’s looking at. This cast reads like something out of a Joseph Campbell book.
1000+hits, 5 stars and 2 cat drawings by Katherine Tyrell at Making a Mark: The artist in me (I got the tortillians to prove it) loves this site. Someday, I’m going to make time for one of Katherine’s classes.
Why Bother Blogging? Goals and Objectives to Measure Success by Kami Huyse at Communication Overtones: Insightful and detailed list. This may be another Kami post that becomes a handout at my workshops. Pay close attention to Objective #2 and how Kami follows through – it’s part of the final Comments entry on Friday.

You know that I a firm believer in comments. I think that they personalize what would otherwise be a monologue. I have had weeks where I wished they were turned off and others when I wouldn’t give them up for the world.
I’ve learned so much by listening and joining in at other sites.

Good point, Kami. Comments actually hone some of the noise into a signal. Reading comments can be an essential part of the listening and learning process. Participating in the conversation allows us to grow.
Thanks for being a great example in not only taking and making comments – but the art of tracking your comments.

Thanks Mike – and I’ve had your blog on my blogroll for some time now too!
The class has been a huge success. People who thought they couldn’t sketch and were worried about sketching in public are now carrying their sketchbooks with them everywhere they go! It wasn’t about teaching people to draw so much as giving people the confidence to believe they could do it and showing them some simple ways of making life easier for themselves. Not so very different from creating achievements in many areas apart from art.
In the meantime, we’re on a roll – you must come and join us!
