Let’s Say Thanks, by Xerox
If you haven’t had an opportunity, this holiday season, to visit Xerox’s Let’sSayThanks.com, check it out.
“Let’s Say Thanks provides a way for individuals across the country to recognize U.S. troops stationed overseas. By submitting a message through this site you have the opportunity to send a free personalized postcard greeting to deployed servicemen and women.” - More
So during this season of giving, take a few moments and send a personalized card to the men and women of the Unites States Military. It’ll make you feel all warm and fuzzy, kinda like those slippers you bought your spouse for the holidays ;o)
- More designs -
The cards are printed using Xerox technology and sent in care packages through cooperation with Give2TheTroops.org. This is goodwill and smart business; I mean who wouldn’t want to be affiliated with a company supporting the troops? AND any good deed should find much steam in the blogosphere.

Combating Signal-To-Noise
Shally posted about Signal-to-noise ratio back in October….
“Signal-to-noise is the ratio of information to interference in the medium. In other words, when the ratio grows it gets increasingly harder to tell the useful information from the background noise. While I strongly believe our industry will benefit from numerous conversations among people of widely varied opinions, trying to listen to all of them will shortly be impossible. Good voices are being drowned out by noise and feedback loops.”
and now he’s helping cut through it with his latest post “The blogs you should be reading are…“, where he goes over his blogroll and provides a Reader’s Digest version of why, he believes, you should be reading certain blogs.
I am included, but you’re already reading me so check out some of the others……..

Technology, Today versus Yesterday Year
At a recent tech expo:
What a difference 20 years makes…
In the foreground a 40MB Hard Drive (back then they said “You will never need that much…” ) … In the background (under the magnifying glass) a 6 gig Hard Drive.
Imagine where recruiting will go in the next 5…10…20 years!?!

Online Recruitment beats out Newspaper
A report by Borrell Associates Inc. shows online recruitment to pull in $5.9 billion over newspaper’s $5.4 billion by the end of 2006, and it won’t get any better.
“Our projections through 2011 do not bode well for traditional recipients of recruitment spending,” stated a report by Borrell Associates Inc. “Of all forms, the only ones we see growing share over the next five years are online media and recruitment agencies.”
The report is also very skeptical about newspapers partnering with online job boards.
“In the end, the newspapers that fled to Monster or HotJobs wound up doing exactly what they shouldn’t: Abandoning a billion-dollar investment in their own product and building up brands they have spent years trying unsuccessfully to degrade.” – Editor’s Weblog
Maybe a new chapter added in this now newspaper Shakespearean tragedy, “Death by partnership”?
