According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, one of the most recently added words – “BLOG” is a verb, and it is defined as: To write entries in, add material to, or maintain a weblog. And so, one might ask himself or herself the following: “To BLOG or not to BLOG that is the question …” or in other words, is blogging a necessary form of communication? Since our firm has bought onto the rationale of blogging, our Firm has jumped into the blogging pool with both feet, and will be experiencing a Blogfest effort this month.

With that said, I was interested in knowing if you receive daily Management or Marketing e-mail Ticklers & Refreshers from: Simple Truths – Founder Mac Anderson; Brand Acceleration – Founder Jim Walton; Work is not for Sissies – Founder Glenn Shepard; Profiles International; and Leadership – from Leadership Institute of Indianapolis … to name a few. If so, how valuable do you find these Management/Marketing 101 articles to be? If not, what turns you off about them? Do you receive any other similar words of wisdom that you would favorably want to share with others?

Listed below are just a few of the many words of wisdom Links that you can refer to in order to help inspire others … enjoy:

Gary, I’m not familiar with the list you posted, but I follow a few (http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/ is a good one for designers like myself). Like the other comments, I only occasionally get time to actually read them. But once in a while, like today when I mentioned to a client the NY Times article on Google AdWords I just read, the information found in the random post can be quite relevant.

Gary, I do receive a few of those, Simple Trusts being the most useful and inspiring. There have been some really uplifting stories shared and motivational topics. I must admit though that I do not read them on a regular basis. Sometimes it seems as though some of these groups send them out way too frequently and I end of deleting them or even unsubscribing. Its nice to have regular “touch points” but I personally think too many can be less effective and turn people away.

Gary, I do receive several of these and truthfully, I get them on a weekly basis and might read only of or two about every two weeks. Sometime the ones I read might have a few bits of information I find valuable. Others are simply too much information or not valuable.
