It’s the beginning of February! Here are some things I think are just great:
1. The Eight Principles of Fun. Are you having enough fun in your life and work?? Visit this great little video from the folks over at Box of Crayons. Isn’t that the greatest name for a blog, EVER? Their little video will make you want to jump off the couch, put that computer down and do something amazing!
2. The Whuffie Factor. Tara’s Hunt terrific book about the power of social media is the book I’m going to recommend to all of my clients in 2010. She has a fun writing style – very readable - and the whole book is filled with stories and case studies of how to use social media for good (and not evil). Excellent reading for anyone wanting to get into using social media for marketing…or if you’ve already using social media, you can use it to make your efforts more effective.
3. Meetways. Have a friend who lives in another city (or heck, another state!) that you want to meet for coffee? Use this awesome service to find a halfway point. You just enter your address, your friend’s (or client’s) address, and whether you’d like to meet a pizza place, coffee shop, or some other fun place, and it will spit out a list of potential meeting spots! It even gives you a map! I love the Internet!
