Interesting reading Nov 16

Here are a small collection of articles / posts I thought offered some interesting insight today, figured I should share them here as well as in the stream.

You are a company of one
A post by Jeremiah Owyang including numerous career tips. Especially the idea of you are in totla control fo your career, irrespective of who you work for.

I got to that post from reading this one ‘Your boss is really your client‘, which is a real truth. If you treat everyone around you as a client in your role, you bring a whole different perspective to how you do your job.

I am a big Tom Peters fan / reader and this post “The CEO should be the Chief Experience Officer” says something Tom has put into many of his writings, also Seth Godin, but the sentiment is right and it is short and sharp.

Work Expectations of the Next Generation, is the sort of employer topic that would frighten the old and crusty,  and could highlight some worrying insights into concentration capabilities, and the ability to get things done, but as the crossover into personal and work happens it seems only reasonable that people will expect the balance to be both ways.

Understand sharing on the web? There are many viewpoints, and “The Psychology of a share” has some interesting views.

From the wisdom of crowds to the wisdom of friends looks at how Facebook recommends content to you, and how friends influence that view.  To me that is a problem, and it goes a long way into my concern about who you should trust for your information / recommendations, but also highlights how our info consumption is being controlled for us still even in the age of the internet. Who said Media companies are dead?

And of course a little SEO to round out the list. From SEOMOZ “How to Train a Link Builder“.

I found these interesting, I hope you find something valuable in them.
