With viewpoints from award-winning bloggers, as well as business and media professionals, the new blog aims to question the status quo… [Continue Reading]
First, apologies to anyone suffering Klout burnout here – but sometimes a topic has more than just a simple viewpoint. Especially when that topic is something like online privacy. And that privacy has (potentially) been broken by Klout. I was on Facebook today, and my friend Tonia Ries asked about Klout’s ability to make profiles, when… [Continue Reading]
This is a guest post by Bob LeDrew. I’ve been an observer of things Klouty for a while now. But I’ve been darned if I could work up a lot of excitement over it, positive OR negative. Until now. I got pointed to a post on the Klout blog today about their reworked formula. Since… [Continue Reading]

From the moment we can, we’re forever chasing shadows. As children, we chase the shadow of ourselves that the streetlight throws in front of us. As teenagers, we chase the impossible date with the most popular boy or girl. As adults, we chase the dream job that never happens, or the pot of gold we… [Continue Reading]
Take a moment and ask yourself these two questions: – How are we encouraging hope in those around us? – How are we helping to grow the leaders of tomorrow? I once wrote about the roles of companies needing to team-build differently, and I think some of the ideas mentioned in that post can help. But… [Continue Reading]
