The fantastic Content Wrangler, Scott Abel, has written an excellent article regarding the need to start looking at content strategy as an actual career, in and of itself. I’d like to think that I’m a budding content strategist myself. I’m sure many of us who have become content strategists never thought, "When I grow up, I want to be a content strategist!" But perhaps future generations will…. From Scott’s description, we have to be many things to many people, and I can say from my own personal experiences, I’ve often said that I was a jack of all trades, and the master of none. But perhaps in being a multi-specialist of sorts, this is what makes a stronger candidate as a content strategist. Read this article–now!

I love this article! I agree that I am not a tool either, nor do I want to be judged by the tools I do or don’t know. I want to be judged on the abilities I have to adapt to a variety of tools instead to employ common sense and good judgment for my content. Thank you, Liz Herman, for writing this!

While I’m not the biggest fan of Google+, I do agree that social media used in the right context can certainly be an agent for creating communities. That was part of the incentive (or as it was, my assignment) when starting TechCommGeekMom. I think if more people start understanding what Guy describes here in his LinkedIn article, there will be more of a sense of connectivity between people. I found that once I approached social media this way–creating different communities for myself (this being my m-learning/e-learning/tech comm community), I felt a greater sense of belonging. 

Go–take a look!
