Klout will be acquired by Lithium Technologies according to multiple reports. While that's cool for a lot of reasons (most of which have to do with Lithium's B2B product), we know that there is going to be roughly twelve billion posts on the subject in the coming days. Those posts will probably talk a lot about the Klout score and not a lot about the transformation happening in social marketing. That's for another day, though.

I am currently the lone, full-time telecommuting employee at The Starr Conspiracy. I wasn't the first and I won't be the last, though. I've been working for other companies remotely for four and a half years in a B2B environment and there are some pretty straight-forward ways to make telecommuting work for both the employer and the employee.

Everyone in HR is blogging these days. And, being an HR blogger myself, I know that the perfect gifts aren't always easy to think of. Usually, I end up getting things like candy, t-shirts, and whatever other random swag vendors happen to have laying around at the end of the year. I appreciate it, really. But, if you want to get an HR blogger something that they'll actually keep, grab one of these fantastic gifts (my address is available upon request).
