Personal vs. private
• Who are you?• How do the audience see you?• Does a personal touch endanger
credibility?• Personal vs. private accounts• Does it all matter?

From products to processes!
• Believe in your content• Work with your content, not with your media• Think about how you can package your
content through your work process• The same content can have different
functions, for different audiences, on different moments in time Don’t kill yourself with work! Maximize your work effort in the channels available for you!

The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.
