Although quality is subjective as is areas of interest I still think that publishing recommended reads can help making sure that efforts that deserve attention do not go unnoticed. As Schopenhauer noted “Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else’s head instead of with one’s own.”. These are my favorite reads from the last few days, which I hope you will enjoy as much as I did:
Top 5 - Group Writing Project
“Your task with this project is to take the theme of ‘Top 5′ in any direction that you’d like to. I’ve chosen this theme because it should be adaptable to most types of blogs. For example a personal blogger could write about their top 5 favorite foods, a celebrity blogger could write about the top 5 things Paris will do when she gets to jail, a tech blogger could rate their top five gadgets of the year, a productivity blogger could write their top 5 ways to save 20 minutes a day etc.” Another great group writing project from Darren @ Problogger. I certainly intend to write a post and submit it and if you are a blogger you should too. Only beware that you will be published on a very high profile site when participating so make sure that you make the best of it!
Workplace Conversations Can Mean Workplace Security
“Humans are built for relationships. Being connected in some way to others makes us feel alive and part of the greater whole. If you’re reading this now, it’s partially because you want to be connected. I know that’s one of the reasons I write. And when the comments start rolling in–even if they disagree with me–I get an increased sense of well-being as a result of the conversation. It indicates that I am in relationship with someone else. That I am alive.” Brilliantly put as is the rest of this article, which deals with small part of what being a social being is all about, but still manages to make some very good general points as well.
The Top 5 Ways Smart People Use Twitter
“To be honest, my first impression of Twitter was that it was for folks who had way too much time on their hands who narcissistically wanted to broadcast every random thought that crossed their brains. While this may be true in some instances, there are also some very smart, professional, forward thinking people whom I respect who are using Twitter intelligently. Yep, you heard that right–I just used the words “intelligently” and “Twitter” in the same sentence.” Sharon Sarmiento writes and continues with 5 ways to use Twitter intelligently. Personally I never used the service and have no intention to start. However, if you are using it or want to try it out then this suggests that it could actually be worthwhile and as she writes “the only way you’ll ever satisfy your curiousity is to try it out for yourself”.
How to Use the Simple Power of Contrast to Become More Persuasive
“The power of contrast in copy is amazing, because you are actually altering the reader’s perception of the facts, and yet the facts have not changed at all. The technique works by getting into the reader’s head in such a way that a red light is switched to green.” Sounds a bit like brainwashing don’t you think? Still, this is another great article from Brian Clark demonstrating that going into detail, even within a already specialized area of interest, can be interesting for everyone when it is just written and presented well enough.
The Perils of Problogging via Lorelle on Wordpress
“The popularity of blogs, coupled with its potential to draw convert visitor traffic into profit, has also led to the make-money-online bubble. This is becoming a turn-off for those who believe blogs are better defined as online personas rather than money mills. Art for art’s sake versus all about the benjamins. Idealism versus practicality. Good versus evil…?” Stellify makes some good points concerning the (perceived) contrast between blogging and moneymaking, which goes to show that you have to tread carefully when mixing hobby and work, art and money etc.
Remember that reading is only the first step. Acting upon what you read is what makes reading worthwhile regardless whether you act by writing, commenting, recommending or something else. The choice is yours, but do do something.
