Seth Godin and Tom Peters On Social Media

Three great videos from Seth Godin and Tom Peters.

Seth Godin 

“… It doesn’t matter if no one reads your blog. What matters is the humility that comes from writing it”.

“…How do you force yourself to describe in three paragraphs, why you did something? How do you respond out loud?”. If you are good at it, some people are going to read it. If you are not good at it, stick with it, you will get good at it”.

“…You are doing it for yourself, to force yourself to become part of the conversation”.

Tom Peters

"I will simply say, my first post was in August of 2004. No single thing in the last 15 years professionally has been more important to my life than blogging. It has changed my life, it has changed my perspective, it has changed my intellectual outlook. It has changed my emotional outlook, parenthesis and it is the best damn marketing tool by an order of magnitude, that I have ever had and it’s free”.

"Networking is always important when it is real, and its always a useless distraction
when its fake. What the Internet has allowed, it an enormous amount of fake networking".

Ted Talk: Seth Godin On Tribes We Lead

Last year I reviewed Seth Godin’s latest book called Tribes. I enjoyed this book and  Seth’s talk at TED is a great synopsis of the book. In a “Twitter world” where we follow others, Tribes empower individuals. The book serves as a good reminder that by starting a movement, it is possible to change the world.
