Chris Brogan posted today on the importance of building relationships with folks online before asking any favors of them, and it sort of pinged on some things I’ve been thinking about, too.
Here’s Chris’s post, The Distance of Your Ask.
His use of the word “ask” refers in his post, of course, to the favors we sometimes [...]

Chris Penn reflected today on the future of podcasting, in response to something Chris Brogan wrote about the fragmentation of social media, and as a result, of its community and events.
Chris has been putting out a very professional, targeted, and (from what I can tell) successful podcast called The Financial Aid Podcast. In today’s [...]

Of course you didn’t.
One of the reasons I took a brief sabbatical was my reaction to this post by Chris Brogan on what it felt like to not have a blog for eight days.
In it, he talks about how [...]

The very first NewBCamp was held in Providence, Rhode Island yesterday, and I was there, happy to join in the excitement and fun. Founded by a current student at Johnson and Wales, and modelled on the wildly successful “unconference” series known as Podcamp (co-founded by Chris Penn and Chris Brogan), NewBCamp provided an opportunity [...]

The year is almost one week old. I’ve been busy hanging art and making lists, but in the meantime I’ve been thinking about some of the year-end posts I’ve read recently about goals for 2008, resolutions, and the like.
Now that my head is above water again, I went back and reread the ones I had [...]
