Had an interesting comment on my JJ blog today about typos in a blog… I’m not “for” them but I’m a lot more leniant on a blog than on traditional media. Here’s the latest that jumped out from a CNN story (which is very, very cool btw):
I was doing some JibberJobber blog stuff just now (3:16pm) and noticed I just hit 1,500 comments. That’s about 4.5 comments per post. Not too shabby!
Walter Akana turned me on to a website to see what holidays are being celebrated around the world… this has a huge business implication as we deal with people from other countries. It allowed Walter to find all holidays in November throughout the world so that we could plan a global event… how cool is that??
This will be either exciting or depressing, depending on how many readers your blog has. Make sure to watch the slideshow at the end:

I’d like to get a few more one or two sentence quotes (gems) that are going at the end of the chapters… here are some examples of how they are going to look:
For the chapter on ANSWERS:
“When you ask a question on the “Answers†forum take the time to thank each person who tried to help. Then remember to close and rate the question. People have taken the time to help you; it is simple common courtesy to thank them.”
— Sheilah Etheridge, owner of SME Management
For the chapter on SEARCHING
“Browse the networks of others. Take the time to look through the networks of your direct connects. This is where you can easily find people you’d like to connect with and you’ll know you can ask your contact to help with the connection.”
— Scott Ingram, NetworkingInAustin.com
Note, I’m not looking for “LinkedIn is great” comments, rather specific gems that pertain to the chapters. Here is what I need (the number represents how many quote I’m looking for):
If you can, please send me one or two sentences for any of the above chapters… (jason at jibberjobber dot com) … thanks!
I worked for the FBI for almost three years. At one point I volunteered in a program where I needed training for drug testing and was sent to Quantico for three days (plus two travel days). I found the entire trip to be entirely futile, from the government perspective, but I got a lot out of the trip.
The only presentation I remember was a DEA agent who did a one hour presentation on Meth. It was one hour of slides that showed what meth is all about. It was absolutely disturbing. Amazingly disturbing.
Nothing I have seen comes close to what I saw in Quantico… until I came across this post from Chris Knudsen (who hat tips Jeff Barson).
These are 30 second commercials. Watch every single one of them. This is something that we cannot ignore.
