it's so valuable.The right information in the right

place just changes your life.On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the

cost of gettingit out is getting lower and lower

all the time.So you have these two

fighting against each other.”

“Anytime you post online, you publish. Anything you say or do that might be posted by someone else reflects upon

that brand thatyou'll be working so hard to build.

Don't undercut your hard workwith moments of Facebook foolishness.”Nor should you stop reporting when you surf for fun online. Stories can emerge

from anywhere. Soak in all the information you touch, and when you

read, watch or listen think always "Would others find this interesting?"

That's how you find the material you'll need to fill your blog, Twitter feed or

whatever else you publish online.
