Connections and Relationships… And Other Things We Are Thankful For
As we sat here in the comfort of our home office, we thought about how thankful we are to have a house to live in. Others are not so fortunate… they do not have a place to call home.
So then we asked ourselves… what else do we have to be thankful for? A LOT!
We've outlined a few of the things we're thankful for in this mindmap:

So who said Thanksgiving comes around only once a year? We can be thankful (grateful) for what we have all year round. Think about and write down what you are thankful for, it's a very uplifting experience.
For us, our connections and relationships are especially important. On a daily basis we connect with so many people… in person as well as through all the wonderful social sites and technologies. Without even really being conscious about it, we are continually connecting with others.
These people teach us, support us, enable our success, bring us more joy… and basically complete us as human beings.
That is why on our blog we invite you to "Be Social With Us"! It is also the reason we organize and manage our relationships inside our knowledge maps. It is important for us to develop new relationships and to keep our established relationships alive.
It's all about relationships… how do you stay connected?

Managing Social Media, Information and Knowledge Survey
We would appreciate your input on managing social media relationships, information and knowledge.
On a daily basis you connect with new friends and followers, keep in touch with existing contacts, and are exposed to an overwhelming amount of information and knowledge. So, how do you manage all that? Does most of it end up in a black hole, never to be seen again? If you're like most people, that's exactly what happens. Then when you need it most, you can't find it.
People have told us things like:
"I don' know how to organize it all."
"How do I get my head around managing this on a daily basis, so that I don't end up overwhelmed and therefore give up!"
"My challenge – overload, and getting everything organized. Paper and email avalanche."
As well, people had specific questions about whether it is possible to manage and organize social media relationships, information and knowledge, and how to do it.
To better define what you'd really like to know, would you please take five minutes to complete the following survey? (It's just 7 questions, and they're really easy to answer.)
