October 18, 2008

As always, Seth Godin has hit another home-run! His new book Tribes tells us how to lead our organizations.

The Magazine for Website Success

October 17, 2008

If you run a website, you gotta have Website Magazine. It’s free – if you qualify – and all you have to do to qualify is own a website. It only comes 4 times a year, so it’s not intrusive, but it’s such a great magazine, you’ll wish it came more often.
