Catching up from last week…

AGREE: Today EVERYONE is an influencer, @missrogue

AGREE: When it comes to your success, you should be seeking out the smartest, most well connected people you can find, @angela_gmb

AGREE: I love when people talk about “grouping” in Tweetdeck. What they are really saying is let me follow everyone under the sun but ignore everyone except a small group that I interact with daily. Not an authentic way to use Twitter, @richrecruiter (see comments)

STILL DECIDING: The Millennials, as a generation, will NOT be deep thinkers, @dsohigian

AGREE: I see a sale to a company that didn’t understand how they could best use the product and the acknowledgment on the part of the founders that their baby was dying, @beermann

AGREE: Ask yourself this: If I’m not good enough now, when will I ever be?, @TransitionalTee

AGREE: If I read your blog, follow you on Twitter, am friends with you on Facebook, etc., after a while, I feel like I kind of just know you and it’s possible that I forget that, uh, you don’t know me AT ALL, @jer979

AGREE: The people who are shitting themselves in the comments and unsubscribing must be perfect themselves, as they only seem to want to read posts or advice from a perfect person, @philantrhopissd

STILL DECIDING: How can updating my Facebook status be more socially-responsible than sitting down to read the New York Times? But it WILL be this and more, @daveatkins

AGREE: To get new information we have to activate our weak ties. The weak ties … obtain their information from different sources than our immediate friends, @ConversationAge

DISAGREE: Why would you build the framework of a social network into your site when many free (and already populated) options exist? (see comments), @StuartCFoster via @ConversationAge

AGREE: New career directions are tethered less to the dream of an immediate six-figure paycheck on Wall Street, @nytimes

Lots of good links to catch up on for the weekend.

AGREE: Just because everyone knows how to play baseball doesn’t mean you draft them to the major leauges, @garyvee

AGREE: Writing to your government is sexy, @mckinneyos 

DISAGREE: TV is probably one of the most powerful ways of getting that message out there, Chief Marketer

DISAGREE: There is only one way that we measure our own personal brands: through how we stack up to competitors, @monicaobrien

AGREE: I wonder if I don’t subconsciously sabotage myself, @20orsomething

AGREE: Domino’s slip up was just an unintended marketing expense, Chief Marketer

AGREE: It’s scary. And, it’s pathetic. Sometimes, NPOs act like doing business is a dirty word, @writerbabe

Share your posts and links with me.    

A weekly round-up of my other two blogs, modite / character blog (design, art and culture) and the Alice blog (quirky and practical advice for your life and home)…

If green is so good, why is it so confusing?

It’s swimsuit season.

Cold versus hot.

How to frame your artwork.

Backpacks are ugly. Except for this one.

I have a light a lot like this.

And I used to have dreams a lot like this.

This is how I feel.

Duty calls.

And I get by with a little help from my friends.

Find much more on Alice and modite /character. Thank you!

AGREE: Do I want to work in an environment where self-expression is frowned upon, where I am judged for something so trivial? No.

DISAGREE: You may not even need “social media marketing.”

Share your posts and links with me.    

AGREE: The recession has created a new breed of people, a new socioeconomic crowd. One that looks pretty well-off, but is really struggling, @AmySegreti

Share your posts and links with me.   

AGREE: Creativity isn’t about art, @carlastephanie

AGREE: Why aren’t you (really) good at graphic design?, @sethgodin 

AGREE: At what point does the echo chamber of social media drown out the real opinions of the people who buy your brand?, via @TDefren

AGREE: There is a sense that it may all be coming to an end, that the threat this time is real and that the old business models can’t survive, @Richard_Florida

DISAGREE: They’ve been out of the job market for years. Parents mean well, but they can give a lot of useless advice, @Writerbabe

AGREE: And in my opinion this bashing represents the worst of the technology community, @shivsingh

Share your posts and links with me.  

AGREE: I really hate the activity that comes out of an obsession with numbers, @missrogue

AGREE: I felt like all my ideas were being “copied” by others, like I wasn’t been recognized for doing this first, or doing that better, @modishblog

AGREE: It’s 140 characters. It’s so few characters. If you need a ghostwriter for that, I feel sorry for you, @nytimes

Share your posts and links with me. 

AGREE: I don’t think we should get excited about innovation just for innovation’s sake, @nishachittal

AGREE: I like the fact that our President is willing to break the rules, @justinwise

AGREE: You make that lunch awkward and uncomfortable, @joebuddejr
