A common mistake made in all communications, commercial, non-profit, interpersonal, animal, vegetable, mineral, it doesn’t matter, is mistaking quantity for quality.  We have all at one point in our lives over talked when we feel like we have nothing to say.  We have all, at some time, pressed a point again, and again, and again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  We have all, once, chosen the giant Russell Stover solid milk bunny over the tiny Godiva dark dusted egg.   Which is less about communication and more about food issues.  Which is a legit topic, just not today. Today is about the sheer volume of information out there, and the sheer boredom it inspires.  Take, for example, blogs.  Here we are on Day 3 of the daily blog commitment, and people, there is no reason for me to blog.  I could write about the NTEN conference, or the great advocacy and fundraising group Care2 we met with this morning, or the incredible non-profit, Malaria No More, we are having coffee with this afternoon.  But, really, there is a very thin line between those relevant updates and letting you know my laundry is still drying, or that i think non-fat chai lattes are grrrrrreat.  And that line, my friends, is what separates quality from quantity.

To summarize:

Point:  Have one.   

Point 2: If you don’t, wait till you do. 

Point 3: Maybe EVERY day is a little much.

Point 4: Did you see the new STOP SOOT Video?
