The Influence Project is open to anyone and everyone. All registered participants will have their picture appear in the November issue of Fast Company as part of an amazing photo spread. The more influence demonstrated by a participant, the bigger their picture will be. Even those with smaller social networks can learn something about their influence by participating.
Contributors may discover that they are more influential than they think. Influence is not only about having the most friends or followers. It’s about being able to affect the behavior of those you interact with, to get others in your social network to act on a suggestion or recommendation. That’s what The Influence Project will measure.
The competition for 2010’s “Most Influential People” ends August 15 at midnight EST. Fast Company has created a blog dedicated to the project at www.fastcompany.com/influenceproject, where coverage will continue through the publication of Fast Company’s November 2010 issue.

Ah, privacy…. Not the first thing that springs to mind when you are posting something out there, on the Net.
But here is a nifty little tool that allows you to shorten and also password-protect URLs. It can help you turn your very public information into something a little more private. Or you could use it for a promotion. Or just for a bit of fun…
Here is an example of how it works:
I could tweet or post on LinkedIn “Found this great mentor and coach! http://trick.ly/35O“. Anyone can see the link, but only people who can figure out my clue can discover the site my link is pointing to.
You can try for yourself on the trick.ly website here.
Until next time,
Daniela

As a copywriter, editor and bookworm I love words.
There are words I want to roll around in my mouth, savour, and say over and over again because they just sound and feel perfect (one of my favourites is “juxtaposition”). A well-crafted sentence has beauty and appeals to my sense of aesthetics. But the hardest thing to do in writing is to share of yourself, to move and give your readers something valuable and lasting, without sounding trite or lecturing. To give your readers something to think about, to try out, to relate to. And to write in your own, very individual voice.
One of the most talented writers I have come across recently is Allison Nazarian. She never fails to hit the spot. But don’t take my word for it; read for yourself.
If you ever had a shitty day – Allison’s latest post is for you!
Enjoy… Until next time,
Daniela
