Top Ten 2.19: Leadership, Success, Facebook Shenanigans, The Shame of LA, and So Much More

My personally selected top ten from the links I shared on Twitter 5.7.2011 through 5.13.2011.  In no particular order: 1. Facebook admits hiring PR firm to smear Google /via @engadget This story broke this week and it wasn’t until after I’d tweeted it that I learned that the PR firm referenced one of my blog posts in their attempts to smear Google! Crazy and Weird. Especially since I’ve written far more often about Facebook privacy problems. 2. wow -> Sitting All Day is Killing You Seriously look at that info-graphic. It bothered me enough that I started researching stand up desks and came across this post which I think has some great information. Why and How I Switched to a Standing Desk. I am actually planning to purchase a stand up desk. I’ve hated my current home one for a year or more and been planning to replace it. I thought I’d start small with the home office space and see how I like it. Then, if I do, I’ll figure out how to make it work at work (and  shoudl confess that shoes are my biggest concern). I’m currently investigating options that don’t cost a fortune such as Adjustable Height Stand-Up Workstation, Stand-up Workstation, Medium Oak, but the most

Top Ten Links Week 37, Success, Hate, Twitter, Keeping Your Inner Jerk in Check, Evernote, Procrastination and more

My personal select top ten links from Twitter 9/10/2010 through 9/16/2010. The best of the best and/or the most important stuff I tweeted last week. 1. YES! “The threshold at which other people will start hating on you if you succeed is very very low” -@cshirky #WWT – I attended the Women Who Tech webinar last week and it included a panel discussion by Clay Shirky and others on his post A Rant About Women. It was great, I only wish they had had twice as long to talk. It brought to mind this print from Hugh MacLeod of Gapping Void. I highly recommend his book Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity 2. its why I got a Kindle! RT @mlibrarianus: “The case for the dedicated e-reader: When it’s time to go off the grid“ This article from Steve O’Hear at Tech Crunch talks about choosing Kindle for an eReader primarily because it IS a dedicated reading device. This is essentially the same reason I ordered a Kindle and stopped lusting after an iPad. 3. wondering if I should write a post on why I don’t auto follow on twitter as a follow up to this post http://bit.ly/aVRaLJ - The

Start With Why – How Great Leaders Inspire Action

May 12, 2010
By

Great advice from a 18 minute video. Why? How? What? This little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren’t. Let me define the terms really quickly. Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100 percent. Some know how they do it, whether you call it your differentiated value proposition or your proprietary process or your USP. But very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do. And by “why” I don’t mean “to make a profit.” That’s a result. It’s always a result. By “why” I mean: what’s your purpose? What’s your cause? What’s your belief? Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? And why should anyone care? I can take this and apply it to so many things personally and professionally. Why do I blog? Why do libraries exist? or better Why do libraries exist now? Or it applies to the librarians who say to me – we need a Twitter account. My answer is always the same – why? Start with your goal, then figure out the best tool, maybe its Twitter maybe it

Top Ten Links Week 10

Top Ten Links Week 10

My personally selected top 10 from the links I shared on Twitter from 3/5/2010 thru 3/11/2010 1.How to Overcome Idea-to-idea Syndrome via @dmlcentral – Ideas are great, but its the follow through that matters. The idea is the easy part, the dream the vision the excitement, putting it into action requires rolling up your sleeves, late nights, long hours, convincing others and more. The follow through is where most ideas fall down. 2. How to Stay Positive…when the boss isn’t – via @buffyjhamilton for the record my boss is great and more positive than I am Make Your Bus Great Your Positive Energy Must be Greater than All of the Negativity Live it, Breathe it, Share it – Walt Whitman said we convince by our presence. Invite Your Boss on Your Bus – Give your boss The Energy Bus or another book on positive leadership. If Your Boss Doesn’t Change, You Can – If all else fails then you have a choice. 3. Digital Literacy Skills Essential to Closing Broadband Gap – from the The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy The survey findings reinforce the growing body of research that finds digital literacy skills are critical

For Those Who Are an Overnight Success and For Those Who Aren’t a Video Series From Chris Brogan

November 13, 2009
By

These videos are from Chris Brogan’s Over Night Success Series. There are 9 videos total covering topics such as Grinding vs Clocking – Time and the Overnight Success, Pity Party, Small Talk is Big, Belief Systems, The Competition, What it Takes, No Excuses & A Call to Arms. These videos are great even if you aren’t an over night success, even if you aren’t a success. These 3 are my favorite (although it was hard to pick) Take time off – I’ve said it before you need your down time but I’m always happy to point out when others say the same thing.  :-) Don’t believe the hype – I included this one because Chris says – by over night success I mean 10 years of hard work. Here’s another bag of money – on excuses. We all make excuses that become between us and our goals. Decide what your priorities are. Stop making excuses.
