Last month, I had neglected to grab a screenshot in time to record the top commentators of February 2010, but I was more vigilant this time around for the top thinkers of March 2010. It’s important to remember that this blog isn’t just a soapbox for my thoughts; it’s a platform for poignant conversation and thoughtful conversation.
Not surprisingly, you’ll find some familiar faces among the top thinkers of March 2010. To change things up a little, I’ve decided to highlight some older blog posts from these contributors rather than something in the last week or so. Enjoy.
Ray Ebersole tops the list once again. He has been a true and loyal fan of Beyond the Rhetoric for some time and I always appreciate his input, even when his opinion differs from my own. Back in February, Ray expressed his dislike for the recent Facebook update. That site is always changing and it’s not always for the better.
Betshopboy posted the second most comments on Beyond the Rhetoric in March. While he’s busy visiting casinos and theme parks these days, he also took some time to find the best Super Bowl commercials that aired during that epic game between the Colts and the Saints. I like the E-Trade babies.
Ed Lau must have even more time on his hands these days, because he managed to come in third place. In addition to visiting different food outlets around time, Ed took the chance to document the street entertainers and other highlights from the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Dcr stands for Dan C. Rinnert, but he prefers to go by his initials instead. Maybe that’s part of his strategy on how to stay focused; keep things short, simple, and to the point. Working from home, distractions and motivation can be a challenge, so maintaining your focus can mean the difference between monumental success and epic failure.
Morten Rand-Hendriksen finishes off the top five list. He makes the cut from time to time, so it’s good to know that he’s sticking around to read what I have to say (and to respond accordingly). He’s also active in social media, so you’ll want to read his guide on Twitter phishing scams and how you can avoid being a victim of them.
I am honoured to be part of this list Michael. And thanks for linking to the Twitter phishing post – it continues to be an important topic and people need to be informed about these things. The web may be social, but it’s also full of social saboteurs who like nothing better than to exploit others.
Thanks for the link!
The initials go all the way back to my first “vanity” eMail address. My first Internet eMail was through a local service. At first, you were assigned an address that consisted of letters and numbers. At some point, they offered an option for a “vanity” eMail where if you paid a fee, you could have whatever address you wanted. I think “dan” may have been taken and that’s when I picked “dcr.” Ever since then, that’s what I’ve used.
That’s what I think happened anyway. At some point, I may find old notes or something from that era, so I’ll reserve the right to change my story if I am remembering things wrong. 😉
