Thanks to all who Attended Open Comment Night 2

Open Comment Night 2

It’s that Open Comment Night 2 was also a grand success. 174 comments and at times they were flying so fast, it was hard to keep up. We’re already discussing ways to improve it.

  • Martin has volunteered to gather suggested topics of the week — things that people around the blogosphere have been talking about. Those will be posted early in the day so that folks will have something to think about if they want to come prepared with a thought or two to add to the commentary. This topics list is meant for inspiration only and is no way intended to fetter the free flowing fun of the conversational atmosphere that we’ve managed to get going.
  • Scott has suggested that we announced a starting time and I’m taking him up on that. I think it makes real sense for folks to know when the mike is turned on.
  • Everyone should be aware that like coming late to a party, there is no need to catch up on what went before you arrived . . . just join in when you get there.
  • If you have more suggestions, please leave them in the comments on this post. Comment night is a community event. So let’s make it for everyone.

One question remains outstanding. . . .

Does Tuesday night work for you?

Unless there is an outcry in favor of another night, Open Comment Night will be every Tuesday, starting at 7:00p.m. Chicago time. There sidebar is open and there is no closing hour. 🙂

See you here again next week!

It’s Like Open Mike Only Different

Here’s how it works.

  • Comment ON ANY TOPIC you like. — Okay, okay, no mean language — I am the nice one.
  • Keep your comment less than a book.

It was really fun last week. Come on and join in!

Update: Don’t try to read it all. It’s like any rambling conversation. Just go to the end start talking.

Tuesday Open Comment Night

Personal Branding logo

YES, the mike will be open again tonight so start collecting your thoughts. Remember the mike is open there is no post you get to bring what you want to talk about. The rules are even shorter this time — no mean talk.

We got things going fast and furious last week. So, if you missed it, stop on by and check it out. It lasted into the wee hours of the night and the best parts happened long after I was gone.

Introducing the Advice Library

by

SOB Hall of Fame Entry: Advice Library by Oystein Lund

The Man with the Answers

Oystein Lund, editor of the Advice Library, is a relentless researcher. He has no fear of finding his way through the labyrinth of Wikipedia. At the Advice Library, you’ll find posts that mash up information from wildly different sources to fuel your idea bank. And he’s happy to answer questions you have about how things work, if you can’t find the answers already posted there. Besides that he’s a great conversationalist, and his writing is actually easy to read.

Notes from Liz: SOB Oystein Lund’s blog is as eclectic, fun, and insightful as the man who writes it. If you’ve been around Successful Blog at all these past few weeks, you’ve had to have caught the depth of his knowledge and his willingness to search out the answers. If not, check his comments on the Wikipedia post (this one is just the start read on down a while), and you’ll see in a flash that he’s the “go to” guy for information — especially when you’re easily overwhelmed or don’t know where to start.

While I was the kid in kindergarten helping other kids zip up their jackets and untie knots in shoelaces, Oystein was showing the other kids all of the cool things in and out of the library that every kid would find fascinating.
