Be sure to listen to the answers, too, because you may pick up a new way to explain something or draw a new idea from it.

I love your tip about paying attention to the questions people ask. This is clearly something I need to do more. I tend to tune out the “duh” ones. But, you’re right, in aggregate they are as reflective of what the market needs as the thought-provoking ones.

I like your photo-taking idea. I have trouble remembering names. After an event, I go through the business cards I collect and go over the details of who they are. It’s useful for me to tell my wife about who I met to reinforce the memory.

But the photos can be made into something much more interesting.

And I’m not a fan of live tweeting. I can’t pay attention properly and tweet. But I appreciate the tweets everyone else posts. They’re good insights into what people found to be valuable.

Thanks for the ideas. And I hope you have fun at SXSW. Sorry I’m going to miss your presentation.

Fred, of course I’m going! Heck, I’m speaking!

Phil, definitely simple stuff. But as you say, sometimes we need reminded.
