Here is my (late) weekly installment of favorite reads of the week.
- An Introduction to the Linux Command Line – MakeUseOf wrote an introduction to the command line for Windows users that assists in making the command line less frightening.
- 10 Steps to Being Everywhere in Social Media – A guide in how to efficiently maintain an online presence on many different social networking services by The Puck Writes.
- 50 steps to establishing a consistent social media practice – Chris Brogan provides 50 steps for maintaining consistency throughout all of your social media accounts. The tips are aimed at businesses but are useful for anyone.
- A Dozen Tips On How To Live A Deeper And More Meaningful Life – Jeff Nickles provides twelve tips on how to get more out of life so you don’t end up “living a life of quiet desperation.” I enjoy these lists but they always make me wish that I had started living my life in this manner when I was younger.
- Freaks Do Not Get Followed – Andy Murdoch and I were two of many people who participated in ProBlogger’s Social Media Love-In. The Love-In was used as a way for people to meet others to interact with online via services such as Twitter. Whereas Andy and I both discovered that there are a number of unusual people out there, Andy actually had the courage to write about it. This article is meant to be taken lightly.
- The Complete Flake’s Guide to Getting Things Done – Are you super organized and productive or more scattered? If you are the latter, then this article is definitely for you.
- ‘Walk This Way’ Week: How Pedestrian-Friendly is Your Town? – This article asks you to consider how friendly your community is for walking in light of increasing energy costs.
- Are You Throwing Away Your Best Content Ideas? – Copy Blogger recommends that you use your best ideas immediately rather than waiting for a better time, such as when you have more site visitors or you think the article could make the front page of Digg. I look at it as life is short and you never know what is going to happen so it is best to seize the moment.
