THE Thing They Don’t Teach You at NSA National Convention: Do it Instantaneously

Sitting in some great sessions at NSA National, I realize I was creating content via Twitter. There are people all over the world following tweets particularly to the hashtag #NSA09. (cont. below video)

What I realized after talking with Larry Chiang at the convention, you need to create other content immediately. Larry had mention to send him a post 48 hours ago on this topic. 24 hours ago he said this is the third time I am asking you, where the blank is it?

See Larry writes for a little company called….BUSINESSWEEK! He would link it back from his freaking Blog which gets zillions of hits. Geez! And I am standing there dragging my feet.

I believe this next generation is going to be called the Generation NOW! If you hear it an hour later, its old news!

As Tom Cruise’s character Maverick said in Top Gun,”I feel the need, the need for Speed.” And it’s moving virtually at the speed of thought… or the speed of how fast you can text or type it off your Notebook, Netbook, or Macbook.

So what do you may want to have to do it Instantaneously?

• Use your SmartPhone (aka Blackberry, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Pre, Etc.) to help you tweet & write
• Use apps such as Posterus for instant blogging & Qik for instant video
• Have an internet connection all the time

If you are thinking about publishing something, someone is already writing about it or doing a video on it right now! So stop reading and start creating because you are already behind.
