			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I&#8217;ve only scanned <a href="http://jeffwongdesign.blogspot.com/2009/11/would-google-do-notes-from-designer.html">this link to a blog post</a> from &#8220;Jeff Wong Design&#8221; where he shares his notes from a web designer&#8217;s point of view after reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Would-Google-Jeff-Jarvis/dp/0061709719/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1259679250&amp;sr=1-1">&#8220;What Would Google Do?&#8221;</a> by Jeff Jarvis.</p>
<p>At first blush, this seems like good commonsense stuff that&#8217;s so easy to ignore and often is.</p>
<p>I will read it more carefully and share my observations from what I learned.</p>
<p>Has anybody read the book?  What about Jeff&#8217;s observations?  Agree?  Disagree?  Are they helpful?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>This is the best free advice I&#8217;ve seen in a long time for anybody trying to persuade or sell a product or a set of ideas.</p>
<p>There are so many individuals and groups with so many important things to say and they&#8217;re failing at it.  Chaos rules in the whole communication arena.</p>
<p>Pastors struggle with it as do politicians, including and especially local officials like city council members, county commissioners, state legislators and whole lots more.</p>
<p>Gary Vaynerchuk is a young New Jersey guy who gets it.  He understands what has happened in the marketplace with changes that started before the web.  He&#8217;s a wine guy who has a turned into a bastion of wisdom.  <a href="http://tv.winelibrary.com/">His daily wine podcast</a> is downloaded by thousands.</p>
<p>Watch this CNN interview  if you have a need to see your ideas or your product.  Then leave your impressions and questions.  I really want to talk about this more.</p>
