The Key Question That Drives What You See – And Don’t See – On This Site

Posted on | January 4, 2010 | No Comments

With the beginning of another year, good time to step back just a little and address the direction of things here.

Justin Kownacki is pretty obnoxious and profane, and there are a lotta times I don’t agree with or even read him, but I really like his “cut through the crap” style (most of the time).

His post today is the best one I’ve seen on this subject: “So What Do We *Do* With All This Information?” The whole thing is worth reading, but even if you don’t read it, there’s one key takeaway question he asks that anybody sharing information, especially online, needs to continually ask themselves:

“Am I just creating more white noise in your life, or am I giving you information that can be applied / acted on / experienced?”

Justin’s put into words exactly how I try to operate (and he sets a great example by doing the latter in his post, too). Might not always be successful, but that’s what I’ve aimed for in the past and will continue to aim for, and it drives what you see here – and don’t.
