DOSH DOSH follows the way the AP reconstructed the news delivery model. It’s a useful content model. Worth some thinking.

While you might not own a large online newspaper, the points listed in this article can be applied to your blog or online magazine. Apart from having strong information sources, it’s important to organize content in a way which provokes greater audience involvement.

How to Build a Better Content Model for Your Site: Understanding News Consumption Patterns

Kent Blumberg has some advice for working with millenials. He got it from by asking them.
Competition will be stiff for the really good ones. If you want to attract and retain the best, you will want to know more about what floats a 24 year old’s boat.

Leading Millennials

BIGG Success asks something we sometimes never realize. Read the post and listen to the podcast.
George said he’s been fishing at times when he would have been happy to catch any fish at all. He’s even had times when his friend a few feet away was catching all kinds of fish.

So he found out what his friend was using – what bait or lure – and changed his, but he still didn’t catch any fish. He concluded he was fishing in the wrong hole.

Are You Fishing for Customers in the Wrong Hole?

The Art of Non-Conformity has news!
You may not have realized how rich you are, so I thought I’d show you how it breaks down in real, measurable terms. And don’t worry—there are no guilt trips or anything messy like that. It’s all good news, at least for you.

    Comment about video versus traveling. I think the availability of conference calls and video conferencing is a much better alternative, not just because of the economic value but more so due to the flat out benefit to the environment. No travel, no burn fuel.

    I am starting a personal development club in the college I graduated from and I’m already making plans for how to effectively use conference calls. Maybe not everyone has a laptop with a camera yet but certainly everyone has a cell phone, right?
