Well, I’ve been tagged by the infamous and exuberant, social media goddess herself, Susan Scrupski (a.k.a ITSinsider). So here goes…

First, the rules:

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

Second, these are my 7 facts:

1. I’ve ridden horses since I was 8 years old
2. My acupuncturist recently cured my painful Plantar fasciitis, to my great surprise
3. I’d much rather be in my garden, or any garden for that matter, than just about anywhere else on earth
4. I was drinking Cosmopolitans long before those knuckleheads on TV
5. I get “seasick” traveling on just about anything that moves, except for trains oddly enough
6. I think Sean Connery was and always will be the best 007
7. Getting out of bed in the morning is way more challenging than it should be

Finally, I’ll too will harass the following people to keep the party going:

• Vaughan Merlyn
• Esteban Herrera
• Roy Youngman
• Espen Andersen
• Steven Hatch
• Craig Morse

I’ve recently stumbled upon (no pun intended) a number of insightful best practices and tips centered around enterprise collaboration, community management and social networking in general as well as around specific technologies/sites.  What are yours?
