I just read about Yack Track from Corvida’s Shegeeks, so I’m going to do my part as a human information filter, and say that…I like the idea, and will go on and sign up. update: not so much with the sign up - just use a blog post url and track manually…hmmm…
I’m working on my secret project launch, and as I set up the infrastructure it’s clear that tracking the conversations that my conversations start will be a big help to…
well, to what, exactly?
I had to stop and think about that: it’s not that I want people to follow my conversations that stem from this secret project because they’re my conversations. In fact, lately, I’ve been feeling a bit down, because I’m not naturally as good at constructive criticism as Corvida, or Tyme. And I do think that’s a skill I need to work on.
However they are there sharing what’s best about them, and I’m glad they’re doing it. And, what I share is serious good people-ishness: folks feel relaxed around me (generally) and so they feel there’s open space to speak. So, that’s what the secret project will capitalize on…other folks will bring the constructive criticism. It will be my job to bring the feel-good 
………..
So, what was I saying…? oh yeah, so, I’m going to check out Yack Track and report back!

Yes, automated tracking will be available eventually. YackTrack was launched today, about 4 hours ago so give it some time

Constructive criticism can be hard to take. Any type of criticism can be hard to take. However, you have to listen and you have to take it in because people only give it for YOUR benefit, not their own. In the end, it’s there to help you, even if it hurts at first.

Yeah. You’re right about the ‘in the end’ part - but, I have to say, one of the reasons I admire yours and Tyme’s style in giving it is that it’s not corrosive, and really does seem as if it’s meant to be a help. I’ve seen other styles, and believe me, it’s possible to negatively constructively criticize - which ends up not helping anyone!
I’m slowly learning to give CC (at all) as well as take it better - and make more healthy choices about who I’ll take it from…
thanks for responding
