Blogroll, babe
Friday, March 16th, 2007Blogroll – a collection of fun, caring, inspiring, involving, trusted websites with ever-changing content., - a little space.Babe – a fun, caring, inspiring term for a friend.
So, blogroll, babe. In no particular order. Applied to this blog.
A multi-author blog about Facebook. An honest, revealing look at how to involve people in a community. Dilemmas, analysis, and a generally insightful look at something new.
Michael is a coach. His Coaching Mastery workshop earlier this year inspired me to think about thinking, especially on belief systems and assumptions.
One of the many subjects Michael covered is what he calls living a life that makes you go ‘wow!’, doing what you’re a genius at, and spiritual self-care. It’s for individuals as what Jim Collins’ Hedgehog Concept as described in Good to Great is for companies. The Hedgehog Concept is doing what you’re passionate about (living your ‘wow’), doing what you can be best or second-best in the world at (your genius), and fulfilling your economic drivers (self-care).
I was introduced to Joshua Newman by Michael Simmons (see Extreme Entrepreneurship below). Josh is witty and brilliant at anything big-picture, from corporate growth strategies to personal success. He tackles his personal life and theories in his light-hearted blog.
Pandora is a free music service. It personalizes around your favorite songs and thumbs up-thumbs down preferences. I pay for Yahoo Music (which also has a good free option with a 5-star rating system), and please contact me through Yahoo Music at username alexlinsker1980, but Pandora is a beauty. A friend recommended it. I went to the homepage. I typed in a favorite song. I started to read the intro. The song started playing. Totally beautiful. Although the honeymoon has now worn off, I still totally recommend the puppy love.
Rocketboom (see below) first led me to Ananova News Quirkies. I’ve forgotten the article that got my attention and affection, but check it out for the strange and true.
Rocketboom is a newsshow hosted by Joanne Colan and produced by Andrew Baron. My favorite-ever episode is Joanne interviewing people in Central Park and having staring contests with them. My second-favorite-ever episode is Joanne trading up from a paperclip to a necklace with people on the street. Would you like to trade up? Contact me and lets organize a marathon.
I met Michael Simmons and Sheena Lindahl, aka Michael and Sheena, at NYU. They promptly went on to be featured in a photo on AOL’s homepage and listed as one of the Top 25 Entrepreneurs under 25 by BusinessWeek. I attended one of their motivational entrepreneurship conferences hosted at Quinnipiac Univeresity last year and it was fantastically motivational, with great speakers.
Self-proclaimed “Helpful hints, strategies to live more efficiently, and stuff we like.” Recent postings include Doggone It: Tips For Buying a Puppy, and How to Clean a Stuffed Animal, not to mention other non-animal or naminal posts. P.S. Shout-out to Lionimal, my lion who’s a stuffed animal. P.P.S. Oh you think it should be nanimal, do you?
I first heard about Powerset a few months ago in an article linking to Bambi Francisco’s interview with the founders. Powerset rocks, logo and concept and all, and this is my favorite tech blog because of the writing style, opinions, and edge.
And, while I don’t want to give a misleading first impression of my blog by including it in the blogroll, I highly recommend Sex and the Ivy, a self-conscious fascinating personal exploration that lures with sex and tangles in other less-tangibles on fantastic narrative streaks, by, as she calls herself, Elle.
