I have been overwhelmed this week with the huge response to
recent posts. Every morning when I log
in to my email, I have dozens of notifications of new comments on Linked In,
the EID site, and Facebook. Wow. I have to figure out what the magic sauce was
for these posts and keep it up. Notice – I said magic sauce rather than keyword
analytics. Sometimes it is the human intuitive sense that works best.
Some of the comments were on-going from last week. But those were covered in last week’s
recap. So I will stick to the ones from this
week here.
There were some strong opinions about the article on selfies. It seems we love them or we hate them. But
the facts are still the facts. Even if
you are focusing on the world around you when taking the selfie, you are adding
a level of abstraction that reduces and shifts your memory of it. It is just the way the brain works.
In stark contrast, the response to the article on the
post-op instructions I got after my surgery was universally positive. I guess I got the sympathy vote there.
Another article that got a ton of immediate response was the
article on reverse check-ins. This is
not surprising, since we all have those moments where we need some alone
time.
It is too soon to judge the response to the last post of the
week on expertise. If you are interested in intelligence, persistence, talent,
and expertise – give this one a read and let us know what you think.
