I start every day between 5-6 am by checking my blog stats for the previous day, reading the over night emails, checking Twitter (which is increasingly becoming an efficient way to follow certain topics of interest to me) and reading about 100 blogs. Every day I find 2-3 blog posts that I forward to friends, clients and even prospects and I retweet articles a few times a week. 2-3 times every year I see an article that everybody should read and I email it to a special list of about 500 business contacts. This technique also let's people know I am alive and... ready for their referrals of business.
My issue is nobody ever sends me any articles to read (except for the occasional student brown nosing the teacher). How can I have a "social network" in the thousands and rarely does anybody send me an article they think I might find interesting. Admittedly from a low base level, some people even say my social skills are improving (with age) after many years as an Asian hermit. Most of you never knew me in my mono-syllabic Asian period so you really do not have an excuse for not sending me things you think I might find interesting. I can always send you to spam after a few articles...just kidding.
If you don't receive emailed articles from me you can always follow what I think is noteworthy on FriendFeed (rhhfla) and Delicious (rhhfla). For a more social dialogue, there is Twitter (rhhfla).
