I wrote about Wayne Sutton a little over a year ago. I try to be fair about those I write about and I decided to take a look at what Wayne’s doing now and how he has changed…for the better.

One of the common questions asked around the internet is whether now is a good time to start a blog and if so, how do you build and expand it? Wayne Sutton wrote about the topic yesterday referencing a conversation we had at the beginning of the year. How do blogs and social media sites [...]

I want to talk about the business aspects of what happened between Loren Feldman, Shel Israel and Fast Company, since everyone else talked about the personal branding issues. This is going to be a long one so I suggest you get the beverage of your choice, perhaps something to eat, get comfortable or leave, it’s [...]

Want to know why people fail at their goals? Three main reasons:
1) They have an unrealistic goal they couldn’t achieve unless a miracle happened.
2) They don’t accurately determine what their true goal is…and stay truth to that path.
3) They don’t have the consistent determination to make the goal a reality.

Dave Winer poses an interesting question:
Wouldn’t it be interesting if every certified A-lister, by convention, didn’t blog during the third week of every month. What if that idea caught on?
Yes Dave, that would be interesting…in an amusing but disastrous type of way.

Hint, the smartest people in my RSS [...]

I’ve had these pictures for a day or two and I should have posted them.

It seems a kid was real enthusiastic that he got his hands on a Xbox 360’s developers kit and decided to brag about it, then post pictures for proof. When the validity of the pictures were challenged he decided to post [...]

I gave this a considerable amount of thought prior to deciding to write about it. Robert Scoble made three posts that I couldn’t wrap my brain around. The first one was about his comments being down (again) and pondering whether or not he should turn comments off. The second post was about a new technology [...]

Cameron Reilly made an insightful post about Robert Scoble and the problem if employees at Microsoft haven’t heard of Robert. He also compares the salary Robert receives to an advertising agency. No matter how much Robert makes it doesn’t compare to what an ad agency receives.
I agree with what Cameron wrote, Robert has a lot [...]
