		<description>@Brian – I just told myself after seeing one of your comments on Jun’s blog that I really needed to reciprocate and catch up on your blog. Admittedly I’m behind (so busy), but I want to assure you that I intend on reading some more of your content and contributing soon!

And glad you appreciate the lists!</description>

		<description>@Jaclyn – I love creating my own content, and hopefully there’s some fresh stuff coming soon. In the meantime I think it’s important to filter all the signal, and provide my readers with good solid value from other influential bloggers. Thanks for acknowledging the efforts that go into these lists!</description>

		<description>@Nisha – Congrats on making the list. Your post is one of my favorite I’ve read in quite some time. Glad you found the list useful (and you should’ve heard of most of these bloggers by now with the exception of a couple.)</description>

		<description>@Amber – Glad that I was able to include some additional content that you may have missed in addition to the Mashable article that mentions of Radian6 (of which means you have 3-4 people from the company reaching out to you — not that it’s a bad thing.)</description>

		<description>No worries Ryan!

I&#039;m glad you&#039;re busy, so I am! But there are plenty of people who aren&#039;t busy enough right now because they&#039;ve been laid off. 

I really liked the post on passion vs productivity and why we need both. I&#039;m all for balance...I actually had a recent post on consistency vs quality and why we need both.

		<description>Hey Ryan,

I love your site because you always compile great lists - which is super nice when you are bombarded everyday with so much on the internet, it is nice to be able to look through a list and see if anything is of interest, and then read it.

So Thanks!
Brian</description>

		<description>Ryan, you&#039;re creating awesome lists!! This is really great. I love recommendations like these. I also love Nisha&#039;s post and as usual, Dan Schawbel&#039;s stuff was great. 
I had not come across some of this other stuff, thanks for linking to it.</description>

		<description>Hi Ryan,

What an awesome list of posts! Appreciate your linking to Dan&#039;s Mashable piece talking about reputation tracking tools like Radian6. But you also gave me a few fantastic posts to read that I might have missed. Appreciate it!
