Hope everyone had a great week, and that I'll "see" all of you here today for Keith's Live Community Q&A at 12 Eastern/9 Pacific. (At 9, the Ustream live chat will become the top post - wait for it!) It will be our first time working with Ustream, so fingers crossed for a smooth experience on the technical end.
Now, this week in links...
Chris Brogan rightly reminds us that Relationships, not Content, are king -- and illustrates it with an Elvis-style photo. Nothin' but a hounddog, Chris?
Great post from the always fresh Penelope Trunk on who you should trust to give you career advice. Hint: Don't be a snob!
Roger Grant tells us how to turn business cards into powerful brand messaging! Keith connected with Roger in Calgary last week and was mucho impressed with his cards.
Lifeline-esque Groups in Action: Jim "Data" Mourey, who you've "met" if you read Who's Got Your Back, passed along this piece about the Posse Foundation, which has boosted college graduation rates among participants up to 90% compared to the average 58% by using peer support.
AND FINALLY: Who's seeing or has a teenager who's seeing New Moon this weekend? (Secretly, a friend is making me see it tonight, but let's keep that between us, yes?) Hollywood Insider reports that presales for the movie, the second in the Twilight vampire series, are breaking all kinds of records.
Here's the question I pose to you, Relationship Masters: What is it about the relationship between Bella and Edward that resonates so powerfully with so many of today's women and girls?
Send a trackback!
Keith,
Though a little droll, this picture paints a clear, if not satiric, view of the vampire fascination.

Hey Roberts, this is Sara, Keith's managing editor. I do the Friday link roundups. Thought I should point it out lest anyone think that Keith is heading off to New Moon tonight...
Thanks for the 'toon. The "clarity" is welcome (in the same satiric fashion as the cartoon). :-)
