Vision of a mobile future; embrace your mobile computer
Featured Article
Don’t get caught up in the naming of things with words, it gets confusing. Words change the very nature of how we think about something. It is “this," therefore it is “that." Now, a tree is a tree and a rock is a rock, unless you are in some altered state on consciousness, but we won’t go there. I’m focused on the newcomer words that are still in flux. Too often it is herd mentality that gives new things their name.
Today I stared at my iPhone, Blackberry, GPhone and Palm pre on my desk and asked myself “what are these?”

While many of us have heard that creating a compelling communication starts with a “what’s in it for them” approach, it is amazing how much greater the impact when this is combined with SOI strategies. The next time you sit down to create a communication, track the number of SOI leverage points you are weaving into your message.

Webinar Mystery
Everyone likes a mystery. Well, we wanted to stretch your minds a bit and see if you are able to solve a challenge that was presented to the attendees of our last Sphere of Influence event.
Passion is a key element to demonstrating excellence or become the master in your field. When you see it, you know it. Here is a list of people that demonstrated excellence in their fields. Can you name them?
If you think you can, there is something in it for you. The next time you see Donato at a speaking engagement of trade show, if you are the first person to provide him with the correct names for the people shown, dinner will be “on him” (Broadlook employees not eligible).
Are you up for the challenge?
