How Can I Improve?

This is the hardest post to write, but perhaps the most important.

I enjoy meeting people in real life, and if they tell me they enjoy reading my blog or tweets, I thank them, and then ask them “What should I improve on?” I realize I don’t do this enough online, where I’m located most of the time, and would love to hear from you.

Yesterday, a contemporary I respect gave me some feedback on an area I should improve on, and while it stung for a second, I know deep down he’s right. He reminded me that successful professional and companies know how to listen, take in feedback, and then improve. I’m not an expert on this, and make my fair share of mistakes, but I should certainly practice what I preach, so here goes:

I’ll leave the topic very open, love to hear what you think, so how can I improve?

Feel free to leave a comment, but If you don’t feel comfortable saying it in public, feel free to email me at jeremiah_owyang @yahoo dot com, or if you want to submit to uservoice (an embracing technology), that’s fine too, as it helps with prioritization. It really doesn’t matter which method you choose, I look forward to hearing from you.

  1. I agree with the others. I enjoy your postings and find most extremely helpful in trying to understand the new social media technologies out there and being used. I’m sure the more you place yourself in the public eye, the more you open yourself up to all kinds of comments. Keep up the good work!

  2. Jeremiah, I enjoy reading your tweets and have found following you to be very informative. Just as you are in a process of absorbing, I too am not in a position to give a good thorough critique that would be meaningful and helpful to you yet. But now that I know you are open to hearing it, I will share when I do.

    But I do have a suggestion re: tweet content. Being an IT Staffing Industry guys for over a decade I’d really love to hear some of your thoughts on where things are going in our industry.

    Thanks!
