Bryper's Tumblings

Opinions on Evernote

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:15:00 -0400

BryanPerson What’s your take on Evernote? Noodling around with it now and wondering how it would replace Google Docs for my workflow? 36 minutes ago from web

—

chris2x @BryanPerson for me I see Evernote more replacing my notes app which had been SOHO Notes

pixel8r @BryanPerson From what I can see, could evernote really be a replacement to Gapps? They server two different purposes. No?

andreamercado @bryanperson I could see it easily replacing social bookmarking 4 me. I don’t use GDocs for little notes, so it wouldn’t be a replacement.

beaucolburn @BryanPerson note sure if you are, but if you are considering for iPhone sync ability, check this: http://bit.ly/9CtkH

EdRoberts @BryanPerson Doesn’t touch Google Docs as it’s not really a word processor. But I’ve nuked Google Notes with Evernote. Use it more and more.

closetgeekshow @BryanPerson i’m using it right now to keep track of my research online. plus i use it to compile blog posts to read later on my pda

cc_chapman @BryanPerson Doesn’t replace Docs for me, but did kill Google Notebook use.

What's worse than bad PowerPoint?

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:49:00 -0400

Question:

BryanPerson: Just wondering: What’s worse than bad PowerPoint?

Responses:

clgoodman: @heidimiller @BryanPerson My DH is an eng. At an eng conf, the backup speaker began: I didn’t have time to prepare & I’m not a good speaker.

helenium: @BryanPerson. Stepping on Lego with bare feet. Nothing else.

heidimiller: @BryanPerson What’s worse than PowerPoint? An engineer with PowerPoint.

phdaisy: @BryanPerson someone reading from their paper—we see that a lot at literature conferences. ugh!

jgee: @BryanPerson a bad table made in an excel spreadsheet = indecipherable

michaelbuckley: @BryanPerson Other than kidney stones, I can’t think of anything.

barbaranixon: @BryanPerson Worse than bad PowerPoint? PowerPoint in a room with no exit?

larrylawfer: @BryanPerson bad sushi, both stink and make you sick as well as wish you were somewhere else.

achitwood: @BryanPerson - bad public speaking I think is worse than bad ppt…

Test

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:40:00 -0400

zik @BryanPerson Truely a wonderful thing to be discussing cricket with you on twitter. One of these days you’ll have to join us live :)

zik @BryanPerson The fact that in cricket a result other than win or lose is possible makes it even more appealing to me and much closer

BryanPerson: @Zik: 5 days and more than 30 hours of cricket — and a draw. As an American, it’s one part of the game that sometimes rankles me.

BryanPerson: @Zik: Into the final seven overs. I think the West Indies will survive.

zik @BryanPerson In the Caribbean, cricket is not just a game, it’s community :).

zik @BryanPerson Enough time for my palms to be mad sweaty right about now. If another wicket falls I’m gonna need meds

zik @BryanPerson It’s a new stadium built for the WC2007. This is the 1st test match being played on it. Infuriating incompetence nonetheless

zik @BryanPerson Building a new stadium without adequate drainage is unforgiveable. Heads should roll, but alas none will.

BryanPerson: @zik You mean they can’t get a decent drainage system? Just don’t understand how it takes 3+ hours to get game going after rain stopped.

Takeaways from the Social Media Breakfast

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:36:00 -0500

On Wednesday, February 13, Social Media Breakfast events were staged in both Boston and the Twin Cities. That led to this question:

Question:

Bryper If you attended today’s Social Media Breakfast in Boston or the Twin Cities, what was your biggest learning/takeaway?

Responses:

slolee @bryanperson It usually takes baby steps to convince others of the power and good of social media

jstorerj @bryanperson the SMB confirmed for me that there’s no substitute for good ‘ole F2F meetings to establish trust and build relationships.

deanwhit @bryanperson I missed it again! got half way there and realized i forgot to drop my son at daycare (he was in the back seat)

perfectporridge @BryanPerson My biggest learning from the Twin Cities SMB is that geeks have no excuse not to have real world friends.

vanhoosear @BryanPerson I like what @jstorerj had to say about Twitter favorites—good ideas!

vanhoosear @BryanPerson That I gotta get me one of @Stevegarfield’s Nokia phones, even though it doesn’t look like the live streams worked. :-)

masterots @BryanPerson: that there are some potentially huge enterprise uses for Twitter

mjkeliher @BryanPerson One takeaway from today’s SMB Twin Cities is that there’s absolutley no substitute for meeting people in person. 11:51 AM February 13, 2008 from Snitter in reply to BryanPerson

crbrowning @BryanPerson they keep getting better and better! and bigger and bigger!

What can we do to make our presentations suck less?

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:28:00 -0500

Good and bad presentations are on my mind this week, after finishing up Garr Reynolds’s excellent Presentation Zen book over the weekend.

Question:

Bryper What can we do to make our presentations suck less?

Responses:

KarenRussell @BryanPerson: remember it’s about the audience, not the presenter.

chelpixie @BryanPerson Best Presentation I’ve seen hands down, Mitch Joel @PCB. He connects with his audience very well.

jstorerj @bryanperson in most cases animations in ppt are superfluous… stick to the story and stop trying to be cute

LewisG @BryanPerson Don’t use PowerPoint. Engage your audience, meet their eyes, and speak to their wants and needs, which you must first discover.

clgoodman @BryanPerson My sugg: As always, know your audience. And if you use PowerPoint, don’t use bullets.

ScottMonty @BryanPerson PowerPoint is not Word. PowerPoint is not Word. PowerPoint is not Word. PowerPoint is not Word. PowerPoint is not Word.

gubilla @BryanPerson depending on the type of presentation, try to get your crowd interacting as much as possible

shey @BryanPerson different “rules” exist on how many words/lines per slide, the key is the audience GET what youre slide is saying in 5s or less

EdenSpodek @BryanPerson More planing, more images, less text. Larger images & text. Slides should enhance a presentation, not provide the script.

adamcohen @BryanPerson ban stupid clip art, especially stick figures

jljohansen @bryanperson Don’t look at the screen. Have bullet points on notecards and stay focused on your audience. Also prevents just reading slides.

daveforde @BryanPerson presentations are great when the speaker can connect with the audience, talk to them before you start presenting.

danyork @BryanPerson Use no more than 5 words on a slide… fewer if you can. Max 10. You want listeners to pay attention to *you*, not your slides.

danyork @BryanPerson My tip - DON’T READ YOUR SLIDES!!! Use your slides to tell a story and *accent* your speaking. Use pictures, simple words.

DonnaPapacosta @bryanperson: Create the presentation WITHOUT slides. If you do add slides, practice WITHOUT them.

asyouwish @bryanperson practice practice practice. I read to spend 80% of the time rehearsing and only 20% of the time developing the content.

davefleet @bryanperson - less bullets; focus on the audience, not yourself; write the presentation like a story and THEN do the slides

McClennan @bryanperson presentations are not book readings. Your audience matters more than your text

McClennan @bryanperson Powerpoint is not a diary and you are not paid by the word. Keep it short.

The trouble with the pursuit of perfection

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 08:18:00 -0500

Question:

Bryper Can being a perfectionist at our work slow us down? Should we be content with good enough and keep going?

Responses:

adamcohen @bryper I spend a lot of my time coaching business folks and developers on projects on trying not to make good enough, perfect

mediaphyter @Bryper I think I have too much OCD to not try to be a perfectionist at work. And yes, sometimes it slows me down. Blessing and curse.

adamcohen @bryper The relentless pursuit of perfection will absolutely slow down projects - the 80/20 rule is what allows them to actually finish

ourman @bryper - yes, yes, yes. It’ll do WILL do. Too many bosses who have had new ideas right up till deadline and wrecked it. 1st get it done.

rickmurray @bryper Some things demand perfection; others can be treated as *betas* The spoils go to those who can consistently discern which is which.

Engagingbrand @bryper perfection doesn’t exist, because it is out of date when you get there..aim should be evolving

marcuhlig @Bryper meg whiteman: “perfect is the enemy of good enough”, sometimes it has to be perfect, but most of the times good enough will do it…

jljohansen @bryper Being a perfectionist often means you try to do it all yourself. I do think that slows us down without providing desired results.

I speak with my Twitter pal, Trula, about work/life...

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:29:00 -0500

I speak with my Twitter pal, Trula, about work/life balance.

Running time: 3 minutes, 27 seconds.

Here’s how she answered my question yesterday:

Question:

Bryper What’s your best tip for ensuring a good work/life balance (… or trying to)?

Trula @Bryper: if you don’t get enough sleep, you will never have balance between work/personal cause you stay feeling raggedy. perpetual catch-up

Trula @Bryper: work like you don’t need $. In your personal time, be active & do fun things. learn new things 4 personal & biz growth. also, SLEEP

Finding work/life balance

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:44:00 -0500

Question:

Bryper What’s your best tip for ensuring a good work/life balance (… or trying to)?

Responses:

rondean @bryper I do things in a series 1 blog post, .5 hour on a social networking site, .5 hour down time etc

randelaw @bryper W/L requires a flexible boss and sig other to allow home office to be open/closed as needed + mobile computing/communication skills

petulla @Bryper If your home/social life are active and busy, you have to attend to them, you can’t let work take them over

petulla @Bryper Cook dinner with partner,play board games instead of watching tv, have pets u have2excercise,when u leave work, take a breath&leave!

Trula @Bryper: if you don’t get enough sleep, you will never have balance between work/personal cause you stay feeling raggedy. perpetual catch-up

ltbeyer @Bryper Take occasional mental health days, espec\ when the sun is out. Get involved with org’s and activities that fulfill other passions.

Trula @Bryper: work like you don’t need $. In your personal time, be active & do fun things. learn new things 4 personal & biz growth. also, SLEEP

skalik @Bryper know when to close communication lines for one or the other

SocialTNT @Bryper Limit my comp time after work for min 1 hour to chill. Bicycle to/from work. Don’t touch comp on Saturday. Gym.

DougH @bryper real answer: Juggle both most of time, but have lockdown times to focus on each every day

CZ @Bryper call home3x/day /schedule time on cal like you’d do for client/boss. Remember family is all important/divorce is expensive (i hear)

kflaherty @Bryper making time, even ten minutes, every night where my wife and I talk about anything but work…oh and beer.

mediaphyter @Bryper Anxious to read this one. If there’s anything I need, it’s work/life balance. (don’t quote me — just supporting you!) :)

DougH @Bryper Pick 1 & roll w/ it ;)

When and where do we write and blog?

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:41:00 -0500

Question:

Bryper Where/when do you write/blog best?

Responses:

EdenSpodek @Bryper I write most of my posts at home at night usually hanging with the kids while they do their homework.

jljohansen @Bryper I find myself writing, re-writing, and then re-writing again in little bits across 8 hours of work. I struggle to post in 1 sitting.

alizasherman @bryper - Best blogging time is either early in the morning before baby is awake or sneaking on the computer at night before I go to sleep.

marylynn3 @bryper for http://bigg success.com, we move to our thinking room, and get away from the office to focus.

LewisG @Bryper Like Jason, morning after e-mail. However, my best writing probably happens on the weekends when technology is turned off.

jasonalba @bryper - my best writing is in the morning, first thing (after checking e-mail). Sometimes I’ll do it later, but not after 3pm

mindofandre @Bryper definitely in the evening hours

DougH @Bryper Best writing time is whenever I am alone. often nigths/we’s best for blogs, Working @ home actually better for other work stuff

joec0914 @Bryper It takes a certain conjunction of mood, desire and having it worked out in my head to a certain level. No particular time.

mjkeliher @Bryper Sometimes I Jott. Sometimes I scribble notes. Sometimes I just think through it so many times the writing is nearly effortless.

Bryper How do you make sure that what you have in your head eventually gets on paper/on screen?

SheilaS @Bryper Usually at night when everyone’s out of my hair. I get distracted during the day tho I try not to be….

kaitswanson @Bryper: When it’s down the wire…or when I have a good cup of coffee and a great book.

mjkeliher @Bryper I “write” best when I’m not writing. Lying in bed, driving, grocery shopping - thinking about what I’ll end up writing later.

Engagingbrand @bryper for having the ideas, in the car…for writing when I am on a train…weird! Moving clearly helps me!

chrisbrogan @bryper - Usually after my commute, or late at night.

paullyoung @bryper: when inspired.

RSS for internal communications

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 13:59:00 -0500

Question:

Bryper How are you using RSS/social bookmarks, if at all, to share information internally with co-workers and manage workflow?

Responses:

eden_spodek @Bryper We use del.icio.us to share reference materials, relevant blog posts and those we’re monitoring. The notes field comes in handy too.

philgomes @bryper: Social bookmarks + FeedBlitz is an awesome way to keep in touch with friends and family.

karasoluri @bryper w/ one foot in, one foot out of the social media fishbowl, rss= overload to me. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s response.

everywoman @bryper I put the delicious widget on facebook page so member of my fb wrkgroup can quickly see my updates that are interesting to them.

jeckman @Bryper At Optaros we use the for:optaros tag in del.icio.us and an Optaros group in Ma.gnolia - these get aggregated into our intranet

CZ @Bryper i share daily “noteworhty” posts via link blog with peers, and send email digest for those w/out readers (most).

theRab @bryper i use social bookmarking as references in email, blog posts, and social network comments - this drives folks to discover & seek more

rickmahn @Bryper A: For internal coworkers and workflow - no. I wish we were though - I see that coming in 2008/2009 for most corps.

Twitter and Facebook

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 07:19:00 -0500

Same late-night musings about Twitter and Facebook drew a flurry of responses from my Twitter crew. Answers are in reverse chronological order.

Question:

Bryper Facebook has lost its sizzle with me, but Twitter remains as shiny a tool as ever. What about for you?

Answers:

mediaphyter

@Bryper I was thinking that earlier. I barely go on FB anymore now that I use Twitter so much.

susanreynolds @Bryper I live twitters simplicity - we use it as suits us, Works sooo well for my need

Bryper I wonder if Twitter’s *lack* of features is what makes it more appealing to me than Facebook.

lalunablanca @bryper @AlbertMaruggi: I still enjoy FaceBook and am looking to find even more utility in it. Some settling needs to occur w/ apps. agreed

cjuon @Bryper - Agreed. I personally like Twitter more than Facebook, though they both have their niche. Throwing stuff is fun for only so long…

prblog @Bryper - socnets as a whole, still feel like they’re simmering for me. not fully cooked yet but with great ingredients. twitter? whee!

BarbaraKB @bryper Use ‘em both. Neither shiny, though. Useful.

Bryper Doesn’t mean I don’t use it all, though. Good place to connect with old classmates and exchange messages with @JeffPulver.

Bryper Annoying application requests, weird usability issues, privacy concerns, mainly.

AlbertMaruggi @Bryper - why the lost luster on FB?

sff08 @bryper: i use facebook maybe 30 mins a week. too much clutter. -drewolanoff

drewolanoff @bryper: i use facebook maybe 30 mins a week. too much clutter.

mindofandre @bryper after discovering Twitter and meeting so many great people, I agree, FB just isnt as fun anymore

stuartma @bryper Exact same. I’m now post-Facebook

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:48:00 -0500

Question:

Bryper For those of you in Facebook, what are your 2-3 must-have applications? Will post your answers later on Tumblr.

Answers:

adamcohen @bryper assuming you are asking about non-standard fb apps? visual bookshelf, snowreports (ski conditions), birthday calendar are all good

jeckman @Bryper Must have app on Facebook: Scrabulous

ltbeyer @Bryper Must haves: Photos, Posted Items & Super Poke

Sc00ter @Bryper: Causes, Cities I’ve Visited, and that’s it I guess.

Will you starve doing what you love?

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 10:29:00 -0500

I asked this question yesterday:

Bryper Career coach Marty Nemko says “do [the job] you love and you’ll starve.” Agree/disagree, why? http://tinyurl.com/2o5u9o

The replies:

jljohansen @bryper There is a difference between doing what you love and picking 1 job you must have. I want to write for a living but novels are out.

audioconnell @Bryper - one won’t starve but live is full of negotiations and concessions…is the priority one’s happiness or one’s family’s welfare?

LewisG @Bryper Maybe. But you’ll be happier doing the job you love than you would with money.

danielerossi @bryper If youhaven’t already, check out gapingvoid.com regarding working at doing what you love and starving.

imnico @Bryper I’m ding what I love and I’m doing well.

TomRaftery @Bryper Hungry but happy so true!

imnico @Bryper strongly disagree!

Why are we so bad at follow-through?

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 05:06:00 -0500

Posted this one way back on November 27 (ironic, given the topic, eh?):

Bryper This may become a blog post: Why do we suck at follow-up and follow-through?

jeffhinz @bryper I would respond but my follow up sucks…….

conniecrosby @bryper because thinking of the big picture, coming up with the idea, and initiating things is a lot more fun than following through with…

kbodnar32 @bryper we don’t follow thru on things because they are not a priority to us at the time even though they may be important

AlbertMaruggi @bryper - snacking, immediate gradification, ADD, headline oriented, content, society. There you don’t need a blog post now. What’s next!

chipgriffin @bryper if it doesn’t become a blog post, it proves the point! :)

ldpodcast @bryper- ADHD. Or in the alternative, out of sight, out of mind. It takes effort not to suck at these. 90-10 problem, I call it

DougH @bryper our attention is fractured- ok mine is, I’m at a meeting :)

Being a leader at your company -- without a title

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:31:00 -0500

My question to Twitter today:

Bryper Question for you: How can you “lead without a title” in your organization? May use your answer in a blog post for Monster next week.

Replies from my Twitter pals:

warrenss @Bryper 1 more on leadership. It’s not what they call you, but what you contribute to the team and how you help. Check out Egonomics book

theRab @bryper participation & sharing, by example, are leadership w/o title in the workplace, this leads to connections, followers & more leaders.

astrout @Bryper at the risk of sounding like I drank too much social media coolaid, participation in SM/community is a great way to lead w/o title

nateritter @Bryper Social Capitalism: http://tinyurl.com/2fq6jv 1. Be nice. 2. Be notable. 3. Be networkd (and 4. Help people)

nateritter @Bryper I’ve been a leader before by knowing my stuff, advocating for “the right way”, and assisting people in being/doing awesome things.

wsimoncm @bryper - It’s not title, its connectedness and “power” http://tinyurl.com/2a9ddk

mediaphyter @bryper Sorry for the long answer — much experience. I did this and now my company has created a new role for me to step into because o …

mediaphyter @bryper will soon position you as an authority, a guru, a go-to person in your organization for most anything connected with your job.

mediaphyter @bryper there are fires to put out or, heaven forbid, you make a mistake. This earns the respect of your peers and your superiors, and…

mediaphyter @bryper It comes down to ownership. Own your responsibilities and programs, with confidence and authority. Take responsibility even when..

crbrowning @Bryper I agree w/ @jenzings - in other words; leadership by example - which has nothing to do with titles

nateritter @Bryper Since when do leaders need a title? Leaders are those who have followers. People get to decide if you’re worth following.

jenzings @bryper leadership is about thoughtful, consistent action, not titles…or is that not what you meant?

doctor_jones @bryper and I find a cricket bat works well too.

doctor_jones @bryper @maggiefox leads by rule of candy

Engagingbrand @bryper - see yesterday blog post for my answer http://tinyurl.com/yv68h4
