Everyone is getting into it — creating those gathering places for communicators to meet online and trolling for new members. So I’ve been spending way too much time getting set up on MyRagan, Melcrum’s Communicators’ Network and LinkedIn. (Yes, I know I am late to the game, especially with LinkedIn.) Then there’s checking up on IABC‘s members-only forum, MemberSpeak, and IABC/Toronto‘s members-only discussion board. Can you feel the time flying past as your work isn’t getting done? No wonder the Ontario government has banned employees from using Facebook!
As an aside, I have to report two misspelled words found on a free download from the Melcrum site: “Corporate communication always suffers the reputation of towing management’s line” (should be “toeing”) and “blogs shouldn’t replace traditional tools, but compliment them” (complement, unless blogs are being especially flattering). I’m sorry, I can’t help myself.

Thanks for setting us straight Sue. Clearly, we’ve been spending far too much time on networking and not enough on proofing. I feel a need to get back to basics.

Isn’t it always the way that the mistakes don’t really stand out until they are in print/published/out for the world to see? However, I should have both (1) shown my appreciation for the fact that you ARE providing such content and (2) alerted you more discreetly, and I apologize for that. You have my permission to jump all over me when you catch me in an error!
