Whistle Stops – 10/03/06

Whistlestops_37 A great day for some great posts:

  • Connect the Unconnected by Roger von Oech at CreativeThink: Yep, the author of Expect the Unexpected and A Whack on the Side of the Head is now blogging (thanks for the heads-up, David) But back to the post…Roger shares some great examples of connecting things or ideas that were previously unconnected. Can you do the same in networking people?
  • Six Habits that Will Get You Promoted by David Lorenzo at Career Intensity: While the post may be targeted to employees and job-seekers, these habits work for indepenent contractors and small-business owners too. Some key thoughts: "People who get things started are incredibly valuable." and "Act as if."
  • FullFeeds – a petition against intentionally disabled RSS feeds. Loved Rich Ord’s comment (#123). My experience says that you’ll get more comments with full feeds. Besides that, most aggregators give the user the choce between full and partial – so publish fully.
  • Oops…we forgot about the users by Kathy Sierra at Writing Passionate Blog Posts Creating Passionate Users: Print out the Bingo cards and use them (especially Clueful Bingo).
