I'm just back from the Global s Summit in London. First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face. The Summit was a full-day session with all 80 or so people in the same room. tag: [link].

A few people have asked me how to organize their own virtual book club, so I thought I'd share the process with you. Find a handful of people who want to read the same book as you. In our case, I wanted to find people to read Half the Sky with me because I knew it would be a hard read. Keep asking people if they'd like to join.

As someone who used to sing at her day job, I discovered that when you have fun, people think you’re not taking your work terribly seriously. As a downtown Toronto girl who went to theatre school, I can tell you that focusing on “goodness” wasn’t considered terribly hip. This isn’t the truth at all!
