A Kick in the Keyboard

by on January 4, 2010

When I was with Chris Brogan at my annual trade show, EXPO EXPO, I shared that I had not been faithful to my blogging on Trust Agents. So he said what I needed was a “kick in the keyboard”. Consider that accomplished and I am back on board to report how I am using the book, blog posts and other writings of Chris to become a Trust Agent.

On You Tube I found this wonderful piece which was created by brandtailers.

The brandtailers folks  have a You Tube channel which you check out.  In this video, Chris talks about Agent Zero.  Enjoy!!

In the off line world, I am definitely an Agent Zero – a connector.  I have countless stories of putting people together so that they can collaborate with each another, do joint ventures and conduct business activities.  It has been gratifying to watch the “magic” take place as they get to know one another.  With my understanding of the online world – it can be an extension of what I am currently doing.

The Care and Feeding of Your Network

Every time I listen to Chris Brogan and Julian Smith I am inspired.  There is something in their message that resonates with me.

I was looking on You Tube for a recent interview and saw this one with ABC News and wanted to share it.  They talk about the key takeaways from the book.  I am sure you will find an insight or two.

How can I help you today?
