Free Agent Nation by Daniel Pink
I just finished reading Free Agent Nation by Daniel Pink. Had I read this book when it was first published in 2002, I wouldn’t have gotten as much out of it as I have reading it in my current Free Agent infancy. It’s almost as if I’m living his book right now…
When I was looking for a job in 2009, I was networking with amazing people, who, surprisingly enough, were and still are Free Agents. I’d heard the phrase mentioned quite often, but didn’t quite fully grasp the concept until I began reading Free Agent Nation. I’d had about four people recommend that I read the book.

Beware of Facebook Places
Facebook just launched “Places”. It allows Facebook users who have a SmartPhone (for the most part) to share their location with friends, find out where their friends are (if they’re using Places), and discover new places.

But Beware: As a Places user, you can add places, check in to places that already exist, and tag people who are with you.
