You made this blog a fun, engaging and interesting place to be this year. Lots of comments, lots of discussion, lots to think about.
It’s a fascinating exercise to see what resonated most with you over the last twelve months. Interestingly, it seems like the practical, how-to stuff like time management and measurement was important overall, but lots and lots of you were interested in social media jobs, especially the nitty-gritty of community roles like mine.
I’ll be keeping all of that in mind as I embark on some expanded work in 2010. And if you’d like to stay along for the ride, please consider subscribing via email or RSS and come back often.
