It's time to end Me-too content and let writer's write!
" Publishers often try to translate the paper model to the web and offer everything to their audiences. It leads to a me-too content explosion in which publishers struggle to cover everything in order to stay household brands."
Give writers a mission, and the tools to pursue it. Empower writers to make a difference in their writing - let them explore, experiment and write - long form and original content with the aim to feed the mind and soul.
Great article by Paper.li publisher Evren Kiefer. Food for thought!

A few months back I was invited to join a TweetChat hosted by TechSoup. The chat was on curation for non-profits.
Because I am active in the area and passionate about the subject, I accepted without hesitation. Unfortunately, it was my first chat and I was utterly unprepared. The experience left me looking, and feeling, like a fool. In fact, I think Jan Gordon was present and watched as I was bulldozed by tweets and questions. It was a complete failure and there was a lesson to be learned!
I would never attend a physical event without researching the venue, the organizer and participants before hand - why was I thinking a TweetChat would be any different?
After the experience I took some time to research best practices and came up with a list of of my own. 6 months later, I am getting the most out of TweetChats: enjoying meeting new people, learning, discussing and exchanging.
You truly get out of them what you put into them, so go chat, and have fun.

Our second #blogchat of December focused on Email as a part of your blogging strategy. Here were my take-aways:
Nr. 1. If email wasn't a part of your communication strategy in 2012, makie it a priority in 2013.
Nr. 2. To be successful, you need a strategy. Email is not going to work as a stand alone tactic.
Nr. 3. Email is content too! Deliver content that entertains, engages and solves a problem, interest or need. (Be sure to add a little personality, too)
Nr. 4: Be dedicated! Frequency matters and three times a week is too much, once every six months is not enough.
Nr. 5: There are a multitude of tools out there (pay and free) that allow you to easily get started with email. It can be as simple as a Paper.li newsletter digest, or a more sophisticated.
Nr. 6: When done right, email can grow traffic, convert leads and generate sales -- and there are numbers to prove it!
Nr. 7: The #blogchat community holds a wealth of experience and expertise. Reach out and ask questions. Guaranteed you will receive a helpful answers
