My Two Best Take aways from Inman Connect 2008

During the Blogger Connect, Linda Davis said,"If your business is crappy (referring to how you serviced your clients), blogging won't help!" What a profound statement!!!!

During the Savvy Agent Technology breakout, Konstantin Guericke, CEO of jaxtr, Inc. shared his brilliant system of creating passwords that can be remembered:

Combine these 3 times to make an 8 character password:

the last 2-3 (pick one for consistency) letters of the URL prompting you to create the password
some number (use the same for everything)
some other word or letters you'll remember

Wow! I can do that. I'm going to go back and redo all I have to make it EASY! Thanks Konstantin!

Linda's statement was so profound that Jeff Turner repeated it at the end of Blog Connect!

The Linda Davis quote was PRICELESS!

I'm glad you enjoyed Connect. I know that a ton of great information was shared. I am working hard to make sure that Bloggers Connect in NYC will be even better!

On the password note. . . another good strategy I have used is to use the first letter of every word of a sentence you can remember (one with at least one number in it). For example: "The New York Jets won Super Bowl III" would translate into a password of, "tnyjwsb3"

You can use any sentence you like, as long as there is a number in there somewhere. I like it.
