I am really excited to recap this week’s EID. We had some great posts and a few of them
became hot topics of discussion on the Linked In groups where I also repost
them.
I was going to start with my favorite one, but looking at
the posts I can’t decide which one is my favorite. So I will go with the one that received my
favorite questions. That is the one onintergenerational games. I got questions
from some K-12 teachers asking my advice on how to use my ideas, and these
kinds of games in general, in their classes.
This is the kind of thing that motivated me to take on the huge responsibility
of managing the site, so it is really great when it actually happens.
The one that covered my favorite topic is the Stephen
Colbert/Slate article on truthiness. The
Slate author retweeted it, so that helped get some wide distribution. But what I liked about the post itself is
that I went against my usual grain, showing (IMHO) that I do have an open
mind. I took an article on self-delusion
and showed how it may not be delusional after all.
The post on instant gratification was a success for several
reasons. The author retweeted it. It is about another of my favorite topics –
instant gratification. It involved deep
thinking. It references one of my
favorite web sites, so I got to give them some publicity and cross traffic.
Then last, but not least, was the post on Twitter influencers from Social Media Examiner.
Again, it is a great topic (social media influencers), it was against
the grain (an insight from a research study that neither the study authors nor
I came up with ourselves), it was an article from a great source (Social Media
Examiner), and the insight was powerful (not just for me, but in general).
So I have to say that this might be my proudest set of four
posts yet. Yeah EID !!
