With school having started, I thought it might be appropriate to give you a homework assignment. It’s an assignment that you’ll definitely learn something from – if you do it correctly.
Ready?
Ok, the purpose of assignment is to introduce you to three excellent, but very different blogs, and guide you along the process of engaging with these folks.
Read
Read a post from one of the following blogs: Creating the Future, Remarkablogger and Conversation Agent. I won’t say much about these blogs, you can discover them for yourself. Get yourself a pen and paper and, while searching around these blogs of choice, jot down a few titles that look interesting. After a short while, one blog post will stand out – it will speak to you.
Shut down your email and focus for 5 minutes on just reading the post. Read it out loud if it helps you connect better.
Write
Write a comment after the post that adds to whatever conversation is going on. Don’t think you have to say something smart or impressive – just be you and say what’s honest and in your heart. You may even disagree with the post. That’s good!
Retweet
Retweet the post (don’t forget the link!) thanking the author for the opportunity.
Direct message
Direct message a friend or two who would find this blog post useful. Ask them to do the homework too!
Turn in your homework
Most of you might not take the time to do this (we’re all too busy, right?), but for those who did, please share below what blog you visited and what you learned, if anything.
