As November winds up (and plenty of you are still enjoying what’s left of the Thanksgiving weekend), Instagram continues to roll out Snapchat-style changes, we have some epiphanies courtesy of Seth Godin and Unsettle blogger Sarah Peterson, and thinking from the point of view of our customers (those of us who have them!). The internet never sleeps!

What’s caught your eye this week?
Thanks again for another great list of roundups. I’ve always been a huge fan of Seth Godin. I’m shocked at how he keeps pumping out quality content that makes me think – it gets me super motivated!
I know, he’s like Yoda – so wise! I wish I knew where he gets it from! Until then, I’ll just get it from him :)
Hi Stacey,
The staying creative in a distracting world sounds hella interesting. I do a fair job keeping those creations coming but sometimes need to pull back, to create instead of connecting through social and blog commenting, and to pull back on my research too. 1 huge aspect of my success has been to stay quasi-connected to the online world while pulling back to go into quiet, to create that sweet, sweet content when it’s time to create.

So true – sometimes we just need to create without consuming for a while.
Hey Stacey,
These reading roundups can help many people to reach for the informative content. I have read the article about improving the writing skills.
Instagram has taken a further step and showing people how to enjoy and share in the moment.
Thanks for the list.

You’re welcome Ravi, thanks for reading!
I am definitely going to start podcasting. I am hesitating to be more public in this regard. But I am more confident to read the explained content in this regard.
thanks Stacey
It’s so much fun! Just try it – if you don’t like it, you don’t have to keep going :)
