Indiana Open Networkers Updated |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Indiana Open Networkers list has been updated. This is a list of people who will accept your connection request on LinkedIn who have a connection to the Hoosier State.
Why Having Connections on LinkedIn is Good:
You can see more people on LinkedIn (and more people can find you). What you can see on LinkedIn (and who you can see you) is determined by:
- Connections to your first and second level connections + people in groups with you
So, unlike other networks, on LinkedIn it's very smart to get a lot of connections. Connecting with this list will expose a large amount of LinkedIn's Indiana database to you.

Relocation: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly |
|
|
|
|
The Good: Congratulations! You've landed your Dream Job! It's i n 'X' (fill in blank), the place you've always thought you wanted to live. Let's call it 'Kirksville' or 'EASTeamville' or 'WallyWorld' for the sake of this post…
The Bad: Relocation is required and it's generally an Emotional Roller Coaster...because it's change. And even good change is still, well, change…
The Ugly: You are now simultaneously faced with 2 of life's biggest stressors. If you're in the midst of a divorce, Kudos! Because you've just hit the Stress Trifecta!
As Employers & Recruiters, we are wise to have a keen sensitivity to this when on boarding and qualifying, respectively. Human nature isn't inclined to pry into these circumstances, but we must. It's our job and our responsibility. Use some tact, buffered with common sense and your knowledge of the people most impacted.
As an example, do you know whom is the absolute most important person in the process? THE SPOUSE.

Lessons from Creating EducatorOfTheDay.com |
|
|
|
|
 A few months back, my wife (who is an elementary teacher) asked me to help her make a website to help highlight the good and bad that is going on in our schools. I threw together a site caled Educator of the Day using an open source Digg-like system and we started posting stories. Since the launch, we've posted over 100 stories and had nearly 400,000 visits and over three million page views. Not bad for starters. Here are a few lessons I've learned (I'll be sharing more in August at Blog Indiana as I've been asked to share a little about Niche Traffic Generation):
If You Want Traffic Talk About What People Care Deeply About
Stories about the American Flag, guns and Barak Obama get more traffic than, say a child molester story. People are interested in what they care about, and a new story involving someone doing something bad to someone they don't know, someplace they don't live isn't very interesting.

Social Media Is NOT Socially Isolating |
|
|
|
|
A friend recently sent me a link to Tom Wright’s response to blogging and social media, wherein Wright called the two movements “cultural masturbation.” In it, he warned against the social isolationism of social media and blogging.
Blogging? Seriously? How is blogging any more socially isolating than just plain old writing? Writing a book, writing in your journal, writing a short story, writing a poem. Yes, these are all socially isolating in and of themselves, but what makes blogging soooo much different from every other form of writing?
(Hint: it doesn’t. It’s only believed to be a problem by people who don’t fully understand that blogging is just one more form of publishing.)
