Have you noticed how many top writers and thinkers have entered the blogosphere lately? More than 75,000 blogs are created every day ... according to Technorati. The number of blog sites in China… for instance … reached 34 million in August. China has more than 17 million bloggers and more than 75 million people visiting blogs, Xinhua news agency 
reported at CNN.com.
We can all name dozens of amazing thinkers and shakers here … and those are from only the few blogs we have time to read daily…. But what do bloggers share in common? I think there are 5 shared habits that shape every effective blogger’s brain….
A blogger’s brain comes alive when…
1. Visitors stop by …. Have you seen your messages come to life with a new twist … an unusual turn … or two-bits of wit-‘n-wisdom that bumps a good idea to the next level.
2. Traffic means humans more than scores or pings.
3. Ideas… images … and applications pop up like popcorn ready to serve and share with eager … diverse crowds.
4. Small rewards pay it forward. It could be in the form of a badge … a cup… or just a few words that lift a thought up to the rainbow for another look.
5. You learn something new … from somebody new … about a topic that’s new….
Blogs are not only changing the way we think… act … and do business …. They are also helping us to come and go into one another’s worlds… and I think that’s the part that really shapes the best bloggers’ minds. What do you think?
Great tips from you, as ever. I can certainly relate to the rule of not eating at lunchtime when facilitating. I think Juran (or possibly Deming) made a nutritious and balanced meal an integral part of their training course design for ALL PARTICIPANTS.
