I’ve been a bit busy the last couple of weeks with gearing up for, having, and caring for my newborn daughter. Today’s been the first day in a while that I’ve been able to dive back into my Google Reader, Twitter, etc. Plugging myself back in, so to speak.
I also realized this is my 50th post on this blog. It’s been a crazy ride since I decided to start this whole “blogging business” back in late July. So in honor of that, how about some links?

Some Links
- Seth Godin – “The Unclicking 84%”. A solid post that highlights data on web advertising interactivity.
- Seth Godin – “Opt in and opt out”. Another great post about creating the proper method of opting in or opting out for your product, service, etc.
- Chris Brogan – “How to Think of Blog Posts”. Chris provides some excellent insight into how to think and write blog posts. A great read.
- Amber Naslund (Altitude Branding) – “Social Media Time Management: 9 Guiding Principles”. Amber Naslund gives solid advice and guiding principles for how to properly commit to social media and really, work in general.
- Ken Magill – “Email Not Dead Yet: Study”. Ken gives a great rebuttal (added to the many many others out there) to the Wall Street Journal’s notion that email’s reign as king is over.
- Red Pill Email – “An Underpants Gnomes View of Email Marketing”. John Caldwell (one of my personal favorites for voices in the email space) compares one of the greatest (IMO) South Park episodes to the prevalent C-suite view of how email marketing works. A solid read.
- The Email Wars – “The Building Blocks of an Email Relationship”. Dylan Boyd touches a subject close to my heart – relationship marketing. As some others have said, it’s not just about the sale. Dylan has a solid take here on the building blocks for that relationship.
- Word to the Wise (Laura Atkins) – “The legitimate email marketer”. Laura Atkins rails against the propensity for corporate email marketers to claim they’re not spam because they’re “legitimate email marketers.” Interesting read here.

Some Questions
As I go forward on the next 50 posts, I have a few questions for you:
- What topics do you want me to cover?
- What questions do you have for me?
- What kinds of media content do you want to see?
Let me know. I don’t just write for me. I write for you, too. In fact, mostly for you.
Counting down to #100…
