  Do you like QUALITATIVE or QUANTITATIVE analyses ? Pour moi, it’s both of course.  Maybe all those Sociology major courses are to blame, but either way, I have to admit it… I’ve really grown to like statistics.  On a completely different tangent, I haven’t really #FFed in a long time, so here’s an effort at killing 2 tweetbirds with one stone: (1) #FFs for awesome PLN (2) Introduce you to a couple of twitter statistic tools with which I’ll determine #FFs ! 1. TwitterCounter…. click for an example of twitter stats à la Bieber… #FF the folks I retweet (…)

  PLN is so much more than 3 letters and without my own, I doubt I would have presented at #RSCON3, written a survey that so many responded to, or now be sharing our crowdsourced knowledge with you.  Very cool indeed.

  Are you early to rise, ……….or do you despise your alarm clock ? I can be both… depends on the season and what I’m up to.   (a ShOrT iNtErludE and we’ll be right back to that idea)   The PLN interviews were a ton of fun, and then I had a few blog competitions (my blog photo and Bethany’s photos) that really got the PLN buzzing.  I miss that and would like to reignite that fire. AND THIS TIME, I have a prize TRULY worth the effort !   In another post, I mentioned how much I was (…)

  I have a tough decision to make today…     Which book do I read A, B, C, or D (all of the above)  ? ? ?  ? ? ?       (drumroll please)       (keep drumming)       (ready or not… here they are)       Trick question… it’s A, B, C, and D… or just D as it’s all of the above  :)   Tara Benwell is my #FF spinoff choice this week.  If you haven’t heard of the concept, she and Tyson talk about it here at Eltrie, Tyson’s rockin’ blog.
