One True Sentence

This post was written by DR. WHAW? Contributor (and soon-to-be coworker!) Caleb Gardner.

I made it public this week that I’m joining the crew at Edelman Digital here in Chicago. I’m very excited to work with such a great group of people – including Rebecca! But with the new position, I’m stepping back from some other fun things I’ve been doing.

So unfortunately, this will be my last post for DR. WHAW (Cue the sadness). It’s been a blast. I know Rebecca’s already working hard on replacing me, but don’t forget you can always chat with me on Twitter, Facebook, or connect with me in other ways.

So without further ado – here, for the last time, is what I Didn’t Read While Hard At Work (but wanted to):

1. Will Personal Brands Ever Eclipse Agency Brands? (Daniel Prager) And…
2. Personal Branding: Not a New Concept (John Morrison) I know Rebecca’s going to be mad at me, because she was probably going to post these tomorrow. But they were posted today, so – ha! John, Daniel and Rebecca were apparently having a discussion about personal branding recently, and these two posts came out of it. Makes for really interesting reading. Does personal branding negatively or positively affect agencies?
3. Jump Out of Your Social Media Clique (Scott Bishop, for LAF) A great reminder from Scott that even social sites aren’t immune from cliques. In fact, they can can be even more cliquish as we define our space online.
4. Life Without Twitter (DJ Waldow) DJ explores what his life would be like without Twitter, both personally and professionally. I know mine would be completely different. In fact, I know for sure I wouldn’t be about to start at Edelman.
5. The Internet Continues to Permeate Reality (Len Kendall) So glad I started writing this late, so that I could catch Len’s post. This will blow you away, and get you thinking about the way the Internet has changed and will continue to change our lives.
6. The Importance of Being Urban (Fanis Grammenos) An interesting (if lengthy) overview of the “ideology of urbanism”. Fascinating stuff.

That’s it for me, folks! Thanks again for letting me be a part of the DR. WHAW project. See you on the other side.
