I spoke today at the De La Salle University, Lasallian Enrichment Alternative Program or LEAP.
LEAP is a one-day event that aims to holistically develop Lasallians by offering alternative classes which cater to their special interest.
In front of about 40 students, I discussed the topic of: “Personal Branding & Blogging.”
It was a lot of fun being back in…

Here’s some VERY interesting social media statistics that I found on http://trak.in
It’s pretty amazing to see how quickly and how aggressively social media is growing. It has totally changed the communication landscape in the past few years.It’ll be even more interesting to see where it will take us in the next coming years.

So here we “Digg” for help from Digg.com to see how to write the best blog titles or headlines. EVER. Let’s see which headlines got the most clicks from 2009 and what techniques we can use to get the same results!

Thoughts from the late, great, absolutely brilliant,George Carlin.
