From the page: Gist finds and organizes social data and puts it at your finger tips. Gist offers a number of ways to organize your contacts- tags, by importance/frequency of information flow and good old alphabetization. For each person, there are the standard fields for phone, address, etc., but Gist goes social by adding fields for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, etc. Their search engine is so powerful that in some cases, when adding in a new contact's name it immediately finds their twitter and LinkedIn info and adds it automatically! - Teeg

From the page: "If I had another resume just like yours, what three things would you bring to the work that the other person would not?" Awesome article by Liz Strauss! What makes you different? - Teeg

From the page: "How many of you in the publishing world post links on Twitter and Facebook with URL shortening services like TinyURL or Bit.ly? How many of you send your RSS feeds to a range of social media destinations via TwitterFeed or FeedMy Twitter? Now let's move on to the harder question. Does anyone know how these companies survive financially or plan to be around this time next year?" - Teeg

Pattern Recognition and Outliers From the page: "Go Masters will tell you they are constantly uncovering strategies and finding new ways of interpreting the patterns on the board. Similarly, while it is simple to track your work and limit what you're doing at any given point-in-time in personal kanban, the implications of tasks and workflow run deep." - Teeg

From the page: "December 1, 1955 a seamstress by the name of Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat in the front section of the municipal bus in Montgomery Alabama for a white passenger. She defied a southern custom common at the time and became a hero of the civil rights movement. This case was spearheaded by a young man named Martin Luther King, Jr. the newly elected President of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA)." - Teeg

From the page: "That's how the R.O.I. analysis will begin: By looking for obvious correlations between activities and outcomes, and then either proving or disproving causality." - Teeg

From the page: "I watched Greg Mortenson, the famed author of "Three Cups of Tea," open one of his schools for girls in this remote Afghan village in the Hindu Kush mountains. I must say, after witnessing the delight in the faces of those little Afghan girls crowded three to a desk waiting to learn, I found it very hard to write, 'Let's just get out of here.'" - Teeg

From the page: "We need journalists to get at the truth and to keep watch against abuses of power. They have a hard enough time getting that right. So let's absolve them of the responsibility of charity or iconoclasm. If journalists want to comfort the afflicted, they should send money to the Red Cross." - Teeg

From the page: "The exact definition of a guru is: "is a person who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom and authority in a certain area, and uses it to guide others. A guru is literally a preceptor who shows others knowledge (light) and destroys ignorance (darkness)". This definition lead me to think of all the so-called gurus I bump into on Twitter and other social media sites and of how annoying it can be to find hundreds of self acclaimed gurus with no proof or record of their expertise!" - Teeg

Commit. Give it everything. Your project. Your job. Your relationship. Your race. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well... and if it's worth doing well, it's worth doing exceptionally well. - Teeg

From the page: "Here are a few suggestions which may be helpful whether you are recovering from a hand problem or anticipating surgery on your hand." - Teeg

From the page: "Natasha first came to Canada when she was 7 years old. A small, thin child with red hair, wearing a dress that was too big, carrying a plastic shopping bag (her luggage) was our first impression. Our welcome gift to her was a large white teddy bear. She took it, hugged it tightly and said "Spaciba" (Thank you in Russian). We fell in love right away! " - Teeg

I want one! :) - Teeg

From the page: "Then Twitter decided to allow people a choice of whether they wanted to see others @s or not. And some chose to see and comment on others @s and others preferred that @s stayed covered. And still, all was good. But then twitter decided to take away all choice. And allowed no one to see @s that didn't involve them. And it was NOT good. And lots of people complained and wanted to show their @s." - Teeg

From the page: "Currently, healthcare premiums and contributions (paid by you and your employer) are taken from your paycheck before taxes are deducted. If these health benefits are taxed, it's estimated you will lose between 9 and 14 percent of your take-home pay, depending on your household income and tax situation." - Teeg

From the page: "Once you've done all the heavy lifting of creating a good book, don't stop there. Keep looking for how you can build on that basis. And what if you have a fiction book? Yes, it isn't quite as easy as a nonfiction book to use as a basis for an online business, but we're writers - let's use our imagination to think of a possible scenario for this endeavor: Let's say your novel, like my novel MRS. LIEUTENANT, takes place during the Vietnam War. There are many people alive today who are too young to have any knowledge about this war. What if you wrote ebooks about the war from the point of view of the people in the different countries involved in the fighting?" - Teeg

Congratulations Beth Harte for the one year blogiversary of The Harte of Marketing! From the page: "Last week marked the one-year anniversary for The Harte of Marketing and what a year it's been thanks to so many amazing people! When I first started THoM I really didn't think anyone would read it, let alone care about what I had to say in regards to marketing, PR and social media. With so many other well-established and great blogs out there I almost considered not blogging at all but, I hated Twitter at the time (imagine that?!) so microblogging was out. And, apparently, my thoughts are too verbose for 140-characters (i.e. I talk too much)." - Teeg

Reading: Under-Capitalized, Without a Plan and Dead From the page: "Building a business requires more than a dream and hard work. Both are necessary ingredients for achieving success. But without strategic, planned and disciplined growth, businesses usually fail to achieve their goals--assuming, of course, that they slow down along the way to create those goals. No matter the size of your business, keep in mind that it takes capital to grow. If you plan to use your savings, your business plan had better be on target to make all that money back plus a substantial return on your investment, assuming, of course, that you enjoy having a roof over your head and eating regular meals." - Teeg

From the page: "Receiving retweeted information that doesn't have a clear source, mail from hijacked email accounts and coming across yet another poorly fact-checked blog post represent the down side of the instant information age. How does one determine the accuracy of information found online?" - Teeg

From the page: "Do a search for jobs in your area, look up the internships, and this is what you will see: "Are you a student or recent graduate looking to...?"; "...COLLEGE GRADUATES ONLY!" " - Teeg

Quick Guide To Twittering The Iran Revolution - Teeg

From the page: "Just recently Twitter began the much-needed stance to suspend users practicing the controversial "Twitter Game" (as I call it). On the Twitter developers mailing list, Twitter developer Doug Williams told me yesterday that users who "use software to constantly churn followers in a repeated pattern of following and unfollowing will ... risk suspension." This new rule was confirmed to me by several other Twitter users that Twitter customer support is also confirming that this is happening." - Teeg

What an absolutely awesome idea! - Teeg

From the page: "I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault. That it was misunderstood." (audience applauds) "Thank you. So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the Governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future. Thank you very much" - Teeg

From the page: Reach is the number of people I can potentially reach out to on a site (not counting others sharing my info). One of the great things about Reach is that it can even be explained mathematically. And of course, anything that can be explained mathematically has now grown exponentially in how important it really is. ;) - Teeg
