Rugged individualism and innovation go hand in hand.

Armano: You Are The Media. Do You Trust You? Me: Trust Is Topical
David Armano a Twitter friend (we've never met, but I value his perspective and suspect I'd like him in person) has a must-read piece about trust in the media. And since we are all media now, who do we trust? His whole piece is worth reading, so please go look at the research, and then come back here for my thoughts.
Podcast: David Almacy Refutes Obama White House Claims About Government Website
David Almacy now of Edleman Public Relations as Senior Vice President for Digital Affairs and formerly White House Internet and E Communications Office Director of Media Affairs for President Bush, spoke with me about the White House's claim that the website the Obama team received was archaic and out-of-date. This simply was not true. As part of the "smoothest transition in history", President Bush had a brand new website ready for whichever new administration took office.

Multitasking Is Evil?
When I finally get down to business, interruptions infuriate me. I like to work and be completely focused on the task at hand and finish it and be done. Motherhood has thwarted me over and over. Motherhood is non-stop interruptions. But so is working online from home.
It's A Dangerous World In Here
The internet ain't no place for the innocent. It's the wild west around these parts, with infrastructure still being built and social feedback loops yet to fully developed. There is little policing, few laws. At times, it can feel like an ominous town, with bad guys sizing you up from under their ten-gallon hat--just waiting for a moment of weakness.
Twitter: Do It
Many of you still don't see the point of Twitter. This is why I Twitter: Imagine you could gather 200 of the smartest people in a room and they had access to areas of expertise you had no time or hope of gathering. Those people would sift through information and bring up the best stuff for you to know so you don't have to do the grunt work. You don't even have to use Google.
