Free Stuff from Smart People Rules.

I have a Google Reader account that, for those who aren't familiar, aggregates all of my RSS feeds in one place so I can keep up with the many smart people whose blogs I read, people like Chris Brogan and Conversation Agent (Valeria Moltoni) and Brian Solis and Andy Sernovitz and and and... (the list goes on - check out the blog list to the right for more).

One thing that hounds me a little bit is that I'm thirsty to learn stuff. I've always said I'd go to school forever if I had the money to do it. But my need to absorb knowledge from the smart people around me is at times overwhelming. And with all of the tools available today and the many I'm actively using - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Flickr - it's easy to fall behind and miss stuff.

So to me, the incredible value I find in spending concentrated time reading through my feed updates is the amazing community of sharing. If I miss something on one blog, I might just get linked to it through another blog that I *do* manage to read. Today, I was so excited that Chris Brogan's blog directed me to Brian Solis' new free e-book on social media. Free Stuff From Smart People! More Free Stuff by Smart People that I've found lately:

It's got me thinking about the content and information of value that I can and should be creating for my readers, my clients, and just those generally interested. I'm a firm believer in sharing everything you know, and the concept of teaching someone to fish meaning that you, in turn, will never go hungry. Yay for those who feel the same way, and I'm committed to spending some quality time with my keyboard to continue bringing and delivering great information.

Something in particular you'd like to see? Got a great Free Thing from a Smart Person? Drop me a note and let me know. I've got my creative juices flowing.

Here's a free ebook I wrote with Julien Smith, to add to your freebie list. I write ebooks every few months to try and sum up some of this. So, you could say that I agree with your point. : )

Thank you for reading, linking and spreading the wealth of information you find useful.

Giving and sharing is one of the joys of publishing. To quote Seth loosely, it's about spreading ideas.
