  1. 5 steps to thinking more socially about communications, by Dave Fleet (via @ConversationAge).
  2. Top 10 PR disasters of 2010, from CommPRO (via @laermer).
  3. 5 social media companies that just might change the world, from Social Media Today (via @FasTake).
  4. 6 keys to being excellent at anything, from Harvard Business Review (via @ESpotlight)
