"This really is an important practice and message -- and as Suzanne points out above, one we should employ outside of the classroom. I notice somewhere in the past, many were taught not to be too complimentary lest it seem insincere. Then be sincere. Seek something to notice in everyone -- and you'll surely find what you seek. Then share with that person the "I Notice," yes? Thanks Chief! You teach more then students and teachers. (I Notice) You teach (and reach) people with your head and heart" - Mike Sansone

"Nice! So maybe those "tool" experts are Social Media Mechanics (a webmaster term, too) or Plumbers? Your findings that odesk (elance, etc) has a call for "Social Media Experts" is a message loud and clear (thanks for sharing that)! The skill of filtering noise from signal is going to get more practice -- because it seems more noise is on the way. The shortcuts in Social Media are non-existent. The closest way home is the farthest way about. Avoid the shortcuts in relationship building. Thanks for adding to the conversation, Matt" - Mike Sansone

It's really getting old and I'm tired of the same few getting all of the publicity. Re: #2 Like you said, been there and done that ;-) - BLOGBloke
