"Plus, having a blog proves to potential employers that you get the Web, especially if you're good at it. More and more employers and industries are looking for employees with blogging and social media skills. If people are looking for those skills, you need to demonstrate that you have them."

"In my experience, companies that require workers to come in every day to get work done aren't utilizing collaborative tools that make them more efficient. If they were using Web apps like Google Apps/Docs, wikis, BaseCamp and Web-based e-mail, they wouldn't need you to come in. With those tools, almost all meetings are obsolete.
Telecommuting is all about mindset. That's all it is. Many mangers have only known showing up Monday-Friday, 8-5 in the office each week. They think that's the only way to get work done."

"But I can tell you this, a revolution is occurring. Make no mistake about it. Everything that we have ever known about journalism is coming to an end. It is both incredibly exciting and scary. Newspapers will be replaced.
When and by what? None of us can say.
Printing a newspaper took considerable resources. Starting a blog is free. That's the fundamental problem with newspapers."
