My current favorite is from Jason Falls, which was actually written to help get traditional creatives thinking along social lines:

“The social media audience doesn’t want to be to impressed by how cool/smart/awesome your work is. They want to be impressed by how cool/smart/awesome your work makes them when they pass it on.”

As much as Seth Godin bugs me, that is a nice quote. It’s all about providing tools for, in our case, prospective students to help them create relationship with our schools.

Great thoughts! Just the pick me up I needed post-conference. Esp with my moving forward in conversations with my VP and Enrollment/Retention teams. Many have ideas, and some feel they need to choose. I agree that more is more, and that engaging those who are already involved would be a great change for those who are trying too hard to reach those who may not want to be reached.

@Karlyn – The Flickr stats are usually pretty good, I’ll let them take care of the dirty work.

Thank you for the inspiration. You’ve had the quote from the book for 4 months, and I’ve had the book sitting on my desk for 4 months. I can’t wait to read it. Let’s not point out how short it is-thank you.

Here’s a quote from a fortune cookie:

“Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.”
