inside #the5 Friday - frame

Good morning, time to go inside #the5 today.

Before we get into #the5, for those who may not be aware of what #the5 is Christopher S Penn started this earlier this year (actually Dec 2009) when he wrote this. I have long been sharing items like this (recall the Hitchhiker's Guide now in hibernation). The same idea has now adapted to use Twitter. Thanks Chris!

As I like to add value to what I do, I started Twitter Bingo. Do #the5, then at the end of the day, see who else has come up with the same item. Or as a recent add to this, see who has retweeted it which is almost the same thing.

Sharing, making new connections, this is life long learning!

More important than data is the activity or behavior that drives the data. Not many do it better than Warren. We might learn something from how he does it.

Make Your Own Frame http://bit.ly/fo3CSy me: what is your frame of mind this Friday? a good question for #the5

The theme running through these posts/links today that caught my eye and now you are reading about is "frame". What is the frame of reference for the data? What is your frame of reference? The first step is to realize that it can color your view of the world. The second step is if the color isn't what you want, you can change your frame of reference. It is your choice.
