Pay It Forward Project: What’s Next?
One of the most critical components to the success of an idea is ensuring its sustainability. When we bring others up behind us (or I prefer to think alongside us), we help with this process. One of the worst things a successful person can do, in my opinion, is to be stingy with his or her knowledge. This is the foundation on which the Pay It Forward Project has been built. Asking those who’ve been honored to think about who they see making a mark for themselves and then getting inside their brain to find out what makes them tick will help to pass the torch for knowledge as our social technologies continue to evolve and change over time.- Keith Burtis – Owner at Keith Burtis Consulting

I got really, really fired up by a post I read last Friday that went completely off on social media, ‘snake oil salesmen’, training and certifications, and so forth. I won’t do it the honor of linking to it here, nor will I tell you where I saw it because I do not want to attract attention to it. So don’t ask. Just strap yourself in – I’m sharing my uncensored thoughts on several different issues here. Because, after all, everyone is entitled to my opinion
So, a little history here to begin: apparently, last year a website called www.followfridays.com
