Why Investing in Your Customer is the Best Bet You Can Make http://bit.ly/i6mz1H "That’s what’s different about us" #the5Julien Smith has this guest post for Chris Brogan with insights that are spot on!

The Choice of Words for the Coming Year http://bit.ly/eRwtIM me: there is much to be learned in lessons from the geese #the5Joanna Peterson is amongst the folks working on her word for the year.
