The art of email is not dead. And, well, I never have this problem, of course. But Ze Frank gives us a great way to feel better about writing emails to clients, superiors, and colleagues that you should be writing rather than ones you wanted to be writing.

Oh, the laughter one can find on the web. Today’s frivolity comes from the across the pond in Ireland with Tom Raftery. I love Tom’s Podleaders – Thought Leaders podcast for so many reasons. He interviews some of social media’s brightest bulbs as well as the web’s newest stars. Plus, he’s got that wicked cool…

Well, I completely flew by my one-month anniversary of agency life. Taking a deep breath, I thought I’d provide a little bit of a retrospective of that month.
