Have you pissed off anyone today (not to be confused with "pissed on." sickos.)? If you haven’t, then you’re doing it all wrong. So says this week’s Top Ten Smartest Blogging Babe, Kathy Sierra, who blogs from Creating Passionate Users.
"Creating passionate users is NOT about finding ways to make everyone
like you. It’s about finding ways to use your own passion to inspire
passion in others, and anything with that much power is bound to piss
off plenty of status-quo/who-moved-my-cheese people. Bring it on."
Kathy and crew made their splash into the blogosphere a little over one month ago. And man what a splash. She wasted no time proving she’s a smart blogging babe with something to say. As proof, I proffer these initial posts for your consumption.
- Getting past the brain’s crap filter;
- If some people don’t HATE your product, it’s mediocre and
- If you’re over 35, do you have a clue?
Kathy’s words are edgy and fun. And her message is relevant to business folk of any ilk (for those who actually belong to an ilk). She certainly practices what she preaches when she suggests in this post:
"Brains love play. Find a way to bring more play (or at least a sense of playfulness) into someone’s life, and you might just end up with a fan."
And before you go thinking I’m the only sucker out there who appreciates this smart blogging babe, you must know there are plenty of us who’ve recently been passionately using Kathy (no, not THAT way. perv). Namely, Hughtrain, Johnnie Moore, and Rich Claussen who initially turned me on to Kathy (thanks rich – great suggestion).
So rush on over to headrush (aka Creating Passionate Users), and start passionately using this week’s Top Ten Smartest Blogging Babe, Kathy Sierra. And don’t forget to piss someone off today.
