Yes! I hadn't thought of it in that light, but it is indeed part of why this paradigm shift is occurring: the silos aren't working. I had a feeling you'd have some insight here, Kelly, and am glad to see my hunch was correct! Even beyond breaking down those silos, the idea that we actually have 'control' over how people perceive us is laughable. Privacy concerns notwithstanding, we all only have very little control over how we're seen by others. The best any of us can really do is simply be authentic, genuine, and own our words and actions. That alone will go far to ensure we all put our best foot forward :) Breaking down the silos! Yes!

I don't get it. Why? There is just one kellypuffs. She likes to take photographs, as you can see on flickr. Wanna know about her career? LinkedIn. She has a personal blog where she spouts amiable drivel from time to time and can also be found engaged in professional blogging and knowledge-sharing on Notes from Rational Support. Like Jason, I believe this is key food for connection, and I have built stronger relationships with colleagues, friends and family through these freely-given insights into each other's lives beyond the silo in which we normally interact.

That said, I (obviously) wholly agree with you on Google Plus' capabilities with circles, and while Facebook has similar capabilities they aren't nearly as robust or useful, like you noted.

In person I can tell you tings that are germane to the conversation and situation, but online posts, especially out of date, are not connected to context, and are so easily miss-interpreted. One of the nice things about G+ is you can control that content, keeping the public posts fairly neutral and adding people into progressively more personal circles as you get to know them. (I think you can do that with FB too, but it isn't as inherent.) A difference between meeting someone in person and online is that net-stalking aspect.

Cost, parking, and pretentious attitudes are all still very common and ubiquitous issues regardless of city. Also, I'll point out that good whiskies events are still hard to come by here, as this is indeed a beer town through and through.

Living in Los Angeles almost every such event is prohibitively expensive, almost impossible to get to because of traffic and/or parking, and populated by the pretentious because whisky is "so in now" or "the next big thing." And so, I close with :P~ See you in October, ~MHC I almost hate you.

Everything else is relatively physically easy and emotionally refreshing. So, Kelly... what are YOUR goals for 2012? Hmm? I figure if we can both share our PBS in our internal forum, you can share your personal goals in your blog too ;) Oh pish. :P The only real tiring bit will be the solo motorcycle ride and painting.
