Because getting ahead in business frequently has nothing to do with qualifications or exceeding a set of specific goals, here are some cutting edge blogs that will help you win at the business game and expand the horizons of your education.
Cutting Edge Business Blogs for Productivity It takes a disciplined personality to set accountable actions in order to become a successful individual. David Allen, Getting Things Done (GTD) -The acronym for “Getting Things Done” is a work and life management system by David Allen. No good deed goes unpunished, but… « Here Comes Later. As a professional communicator, I’m always intrigued by how many people in the business of communicating can still get tripped up by crossed wires. Sometimes that can lead to the age-old cynical curse that goes, “No good deed goes unpunished.” But sometimes, like yesterday, there’s a learning experience to be had. The case in point is the Detroit chapter of the Public Relations Society of America and its hosting of the 2010 Michigan PRSA conference, PRevolution, in Novi. Along with the usual sponsorship requests to cover the costs of putting on such a conference, the chapter wanted to do something to help PR students, too.
So, they created sponsorships for companies and individuals to help pay the $150 cost for students. “We want students to attend — it’s a great opportunity, ” PRSA Detroit President Rich Donley told me today after there was a dust-up on Twitter over the way the chapter was handling the student sponsorships.

But here I am and damn, does it feel good to be back. Over two weeks ago, I left life as I knew it in rural Big Rapids, Michigan and flew out to New York City to begin a new life.

WordPress.com's millions of blogs are getting social with two new features: quick reblogging and the ability to "like" posts.
The newly launched features are now accessible via a like menu item in the admin bar at the top of the page, although you have to be logged into a WordPress account to use them. The new like button is very simple — once you click it, it adds to a counter that shows the author how many people liked his or her post. Once you like something, the top menu changes to "You like this. " In that menu is the option to "Reblog this Post. " Clicking on that takes you to a pre-filled QuickPress tab, which contains the title, the beginning of the post you're reblogging and usually an image. WordPress has also created a tab that lets you view all of the posts that you've liked. When we first saw WordPress's new social features, we were immediately reminded of short-form blog platforms Tumblr and Posterous.
