Really interesting article from the Research Digest blog on the role of eye movements and boosted creativity.

Short version: if you are strong handed (read: have a dominant hand for most tasks) 30 seconds of horizontal scanning provide a short term boost to creativity.  If you are mixed handed as I am, not so much of a boost. But there is good news!  Overall mix handed individuals tend to be more creative than their strong handed brethren.

I was talking to Mark Finzel, the VP of Marketing at LearningRx about social media.  My main point to Mark was content creation is hard while content distribution was easy.  And if you’re going to encourage franchisees to create and publish content, you better make sure you have those tools (ideas, topics, etc) available for busy people.  That’s just the beginning; once content creation is done, the really hard work starts with engagement and evangelization of your blog.  Actually it’s not hard, but it is time consuming.

I dug up this old article from Guy Kawasaki.  Still relevant after all these years.

BTW, he just posted an article on how he tweets.  Good stuff here too.
