Easton's Something Successful and Outstanding

October 23, 2007 by Liz

Happy Successful-Blog Birthday!

from Easton Ellsworth

Hmm, something successful and outstanding that happened in my life. . . .

I was in the high school choir all four years. I always desperately wanted to sing a solo but never had the guts to audition. Little by little, I beat back the self-consciousness and fear that kept trying to hold me back. Near the end of my senior year, I finally got those guts and tried out in front of my peers for a big solo in the last show. I’ll never forget the rustling sound of a hundred students’ arms being raised to vote for me. I got the solo. What that successful and outstanding moment taught me was that super hard work, persistently following a dream and giving life your best effort can lead to unspeakably sublime experiences and memories. Success is reared in struggle.

–Easton Ellsworth, Business Blogwire

Easton Ellsworth Exaggerates Excellently and Talks Talent Terrifically

November 7, 2006 by Liz

Thank you, Easton, for Making Us Pez Dispensers!

Yesterday, the world famous blogger, Mr. Easton Ellsworth of Know More Media’s Business Blogwire made an incredible announncement.

Well, the announcement itself was credible. He does make announcements, so that action is credible enough. It’s just that this announcement was about something incredible. Well the something isn’t incredible — it’s something that’s called incredible. Um, maybe I should let Easton tell you himself.

. . . “Incredible Hall of Acclaim” icon . . . (Long live the PEZ dispenser!) This is a new program where I will highlight incredible bloggers who spread pro blogging tips, business blogging news and/or corporate blogging wisdom galore.

While only blogs of incredibly high quality can receive this honor, you’re potentially eligible if you blog about corporate blogging or professional blogging in any way.
Every Monday I plan to bestow my Incredible badge upon one or more deserving bloggers. If you receive the badge, you may place it on your blog and may also choose to have your content appear in my new Hall of Acclaim aggregate blog along with that of other Incredible bloggers. Over time I hope to build up an Incredible list!

There is no limit to the number of potential Incredible bloggers in my Hall of Acclaim, but I plan to keep it pretty exclusive. –Easton Ellsworth

Easton Ellsworth . . .

talks talent terrifically, by saying Mike Sansone is incredible

and exaggerates excellently by doing the same for me.

Thank you, Easton. The likenesses are remarkable.

It’s WAY COOL to be a Hall of Famer!

It’s even COOLER to be here with Mike Sansone!

I’ve always wanted to be a PEZ dispenser. . . .

How did he know that?

Ode to Easton the Blogtipping Man (Part 4)

September 30, 2006 by Liz

Part 4 of 4

Easton was dressed in a nice clothes Ã¢â¬â not college-kid rags,
But his clothes were a cloud of Technorati tags.
His backpack was full of compliments for handing out freely,
He was a blogger, on a mad posting spree.

His words-how they tickled! His remarks, oh, how insightful!
He could devise a surprise that was truly delightful!
Blogtipping was a phenomena, an artistÃ¢â¬â¢s creation!
Throughout the blogdom, blogtipping was now an occasion.

Yet Easton, the Blogtipping Man, didnÃ¢â¬â¢t know,
That bloggtipping day, we wait for him to show.
We know heÃ¢â¬â¢ll come to leave that one comment,
To say that he saw it. We wait to see what he says!

He slides into the comment box leaving a word,
And next thing you know, only laughter is heard!
Easton says: Ã¢â¬ÅGood job. I guess, itÃ¢â¬â¢s all in the wrist,Ã¢â¬Â
And you wonder, Where does that guy get lines like this?

Then he springs to his blog, to his fans gives that smile,
And heÃ¢â¬â¢s gone before you can say, Ã¢â¬ÅCome back in awhile.Ã¢â¬Â
But I saw him post once in very tiny, fine print,
“I love blogs. I love blogging. I love bloggers!
(and I just made you squint)”
