Building favour on the Social Web

No, not another blogger guide to 'networking' - not my area. This is about a simple Buzz I posted in this morning - what I posted - and who posted next.

Sometimes, it's easy to forget the Open Social Web is, well, open and social. I guess you never imagine the 'big players' will ever read anything you write about them. I'm sure he didn't take any notice of it - but it made me think that I need to be careful what I say. From a 'no reason to go pissing people off' point of view.

Then again, I've been openly talking about my mental illness online for over a year. Hardly the best CV. I guess I'll just continue doing things because I enjoy them and have passion for them. The business can build itself around that :P Epic fail possible!

I often worry about saying something anti-social. Maybe I should worry more specifically, about the fact that I plan to launch several web applications in the next 12 months and will need friends....

My First month - Google Buzz Wordle

Media_httpwwwwordlene_gtsxa

To create your own Wordle. First grab a feed of your Buzz. Then paste it in Wordle. Then save to public and grab the embed code. Pretty easy stuff. You can radnomise your Wordle until you get something you like the look of.

Wordle, of course, will work with any RSS feed. Give it a try.

Thanks to Dr. Matthias Thorner for the tip.
