QuickTopic
Quicktopic is a very useful document review site, which allows others to comment on your work.
Imagine that you have authored a document and you would like your peers to review it. This site gives you an instant private space for gathering comments on any HTML document (Microsoft Word documents too). Your group can comment on each paragraph, directly within the document, and you can also display, sort, and print the comments separately. Comments are all in one central place.
This is true collaboration, much better than mailing documents around and having people make comments in isolation. And it’s private, but still easy to access.
Something really interesting that I picked up from Seth’s Blog. Seth Godin is a Marketing ‘God’ in his own league. He is the author of Permission Marketing, Purple Cow and the most popular e-book on innovation, Ideavirus. He is an MBA from Stanford and a very renowned speaker.
“I just finished giving a talk to a group of 400 high-powered (high-leverage, high-paid) credit card execs. As I left the hotel, I passed a much smaller room, where a seminar for local CPAs was going on.
The snacks didn’t seem as good. The booklets weren’t that interesting either. apparently. But what occurred to me is that the folks in the second room were just as smart and just as talented as the execs in the first room.
The first group was enjoying the benefits of aiming high. They didn’t get these jobs because they were arguably smarter or had better connections or had gone to Harvard. No, they were starting with the same raw materials as the group in the second room. The difference, i think, was that a long time ago, the people in the second room had made a decision about what they deserved, or what they were capable of, or what they were going to stick with. And it was a bad decision.
No, not everyone should be a banking executive. But no one who aspires to be a bank executive should sell themselves short because of a decision they made a long time ago. In a world where the past matters a lot less than it ever did before, where it’s easier than it ever was to hit the reset button, it’s sad to see someone choosing to be stuck. So, if you want to, switch.
Hey, the snacks are better.”
