It is my firm belief that just outside the boundary of your own professional you can find new and relevant knowledge. Great to read post. And use then application.

For u as a person, as a professional and for your organization!

Let me go on the record to say that if you happen to be a vendor of some type of social networking solution or software that would be useful for an agency like Ogilvy, hands down one of your most effective methods of advertising has to be to target the Ogilvy network on Facebook with a customized ad. I have seen several ads like this for solutions and find myself always clicking on them – not because they say Ogilvy but because I presume that someone has done their homework and identified that whatever they are promoting is particularly relevant for someone who works at an agency like ours. So I’ll give the the benefit of the doubt and click further. That’s how I found Twiangulate.

How do you want to lead your life? (a.k.a. What do you want from life?)

I recently heard a long forgotten song from the Tubes “What do you want from life”. And as coincidence does not exist, I read this post. And could connect.

Hope u enjoy it and are able to act accordingly!

How do you want to lead your life?

I had a very interesting coaching conversation the other day with a bright young woman. We were talking about her desire to expand her business and play bigger in the world.

(And don’t worry, I asked her permission to tell this story. And no, that is not her picture, it is a stock photo )

via Quicktake: What Google Buzz Means « Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang | Social Media, Web Marketing.

Google launches status update features
Google launches Buzz, which is similar to Friendfeed, which is now part of Facebook. Content will be aggregated, and then prioritized based upon the people you already email with, Harry McCracken and I call this a social graph based on history, “Historical social graph” or HSG. Secondly, this Google Buzz feature will rate and rank content based on activity and interaction within your social group. Users can choose to publish the Buzz in public, which will display on the Google Profile page. They also announced the ability to input this data from mobile devices and showed a voice to text scenario. They will make more announcements.

Enough about news, I’m sure you’ll find more on Techmeme, here are my insights.

How far should you let people peek inside your creative process?

In the era of the social Web — when it’s possible to tweet, blog or status update every miniscule fact of one’s life — it’s fashionable to opine that every personal detail and inner thought should be made public. After all, if you’re not going to do it, someone else will. But just how far should you let people peek inside your creative process?
