Friday Blog Roundup – September 19
Well today’s my birthday. I now officially have to change my age on my “About Me” section of this blog! I’m headed out with my family for a bit but here’s some good stuff for you to check out this weekend.
What if you could set up Twitter to work as a private communication tool? Hello “Yammer”. A new networking service for business. Bob Hyatt discusses this on his Pastor’s Hacks blog. For now, I’ll stick with texts on my cell phones for such communication but if your circle is larger, you might want to check it out.
Leo Babauta at Zen Habits writes about finding quiet time in your life. Good stuff!
Fans of the book “Simple Church” will be glad to know “Simple Student Ministry” is coming out sometime next year. Author Eric Geiger broke the news this week.
More and more, I’ve become a big fan of brevity with my communication (where appropriate of course). Dustin Wax over at Lifehack writes a nice piece about “Mastering the Short Email”. I’m going to write about this issue myself sometime soon but this is a great ’short’ article on communicating better.
…and finally
My friend Ron Hunter at “Write Idea on Leadership” put a nice primer on the author/publisher relationship on his blog this week. He even includes a submission guideline PDF for the publishing company he oversees. It’s good to have that type of information as I’m beginning the process of writing my first book.
Be blessed and have a great weekend.
