#30Thursday Post #2!

by

My second #30Thursday post, and there were many more responses this time! To answer a few questions: I will take the first 30 posts I receive as long as they are not vulgar and are well-written. Business-related is nice but if we stray a bit, that’s okay. Feel free to take this concept and run with it. The idea is to promote each other, read each other, and learn more. And now, 30 posts of this last week that made it to the list!

1. @kseniacoffman takes you on a tour of Chicago – via surveillance landmarkers!

2. @salamicat does a great post about Social Media and human relationships

3.  @DWesterberg wrote a fantastic post on the B2B “panic call” and what to do about it. Great advice.

4. Are you a young communicator or new to Twitter? Here is some great advice from @AdamSuffolkU

5. How is Social Media like sailing? @mikefixs answers in splendid detail.
6. @MarketingProfs (Ann Handley) asks the media to cut the crying parents of college students some slack.

13. Jay Baer on the death of Myspace – and what it all means.
14. Funny post by @kimrandall on why you hate Twitter – and why that’s silly!
15. Do you believe in serendipity? Check out this post on how a stop for coffee resulted in a dream come true. By @mcmedia & @RickGriffin
16. Chris Brogan does a lot of good posts every week. I’m highlighting this one because it tells you how help New Zealand earthquake victims.

18. Twitter, Privacy, and how not to reach your community effectively, by one of my good chat buddies, @FredMcClimans

20. If you use a Validator on Twitter, are you missing the “ter” in Twitter? @MayaREguru thinks you might just be a twit. Read why.
21. Are you a wimpy blogger? @pushingsocial has it all figured out!
22. Sometimes you just need someone to lay it out straight. @julien has a gift for this. Just grow some…well…balls.

29. I have to include this because I’m so happy for Stanford (@pushingsocial). His post on 5 ways to make a sticky blog – at ProBlogger.net!
30. Finally, hot off the presses, a great post by @elizabethsonow for Junta 42: 20 clues to find the B2B Content your audience wants! Great stuff.
So there they are. My first *actual* 30 for Thursday blog post. Keep the recommendations, the writing, and the reading coming, friends! And I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did.
