There comes a time when you start to get tired of reading the same things over and over and over again.

…2302 Steps to Twitter Amazement…
…Social Media at its Finest…
…Will Google Take over the world?…
…Wait? Where is Friendfeed?…

We have all reached that point and if you haven’t.. kudos. What is so interesting is that right when you start to drag through your rss reader you come across a post that changes everything.

I have been following Katie Paine for a couple of months now. Her insight into social media and public relations measurement could never be rivaled… anywhere. She is a genius when breaking down the concepts of social media and communication on the Internet.

But that aside…

She had a post recently entitled Back To My Origins. Simple put, she talks about her life and the memories she has had through Central Park and living in New York. 

Katie has exhibited what it means to become transparent in a world of technology. She may have hundreds and thousands of posts surrounding PR measurement but the simple posts about life… reasonate farther than anyone can imagine. 

If you want to take anything from the post today it is this.. 

We are all striving for something in life. Most of us work and play in the same realm and yet we have no idea where we come from… When you are writing content and pushing a message it is important to remember this simple rule..

Something that Katie does so well..

Be real. Be human. Be transparent.
