Great quote from Michael Goldfarber, the Einstein of Attention. <\/P>

“The best guarantee for attention is living your life as openly as possible, expressing yourself as publicly as possible as early as possible.” Information attracts attention: to get attention, you need to give information. Receiving information makes you influential. There’s a definition we came to that suggests that influence is the amount of attention you get relative to the amount of attention you give.<\/P>

People can receive attention even when they’re not there. If you’re reading a Thomas Hardy book, Thomas Hardy is receiving attention even though he’s long gone. That goes through his reputation, his fame, etc.”<\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
