Just a few days ago, I mentioned that I’m not a big fan of influence lists. Then a reader sent me a copy of an email where I’m listed as an influential blogger.
It starts out like this.
There are some extremely talented bloggers in the HCM space and we have noticed a few trends: Most have cats, Most have small kids, Most are female, Many have ADD, Most blogs mention their kids or their cats, Most drink a lot
Wow, someone call the lawyer. I wrote this lazy copy back in 2010. I might have a case.
All kidding aside, what makes a talented blogger is one that connects to their audience and one that has a personality. You don’t remember them because they said great things about ORACLE. You remember their cat sitting on their computer or their kids doing something crazy.
