We want to highlight YOU!

I like my job here at Inman News.  Being Community Manager means that I get to spend a lot of time interacting with the good folks who are our users and members.  The folks like you who make up the Inman Community. 

Besides just interacting with people, one of my favorite responsibilities is highlighting the incredible insight that folks from the Inman community provide on a daily basis here on Inman.com.  I get to do that every day in the Inman Headlines AM and PM emails, and in the Inman News Community Roundup.  I am charged with the responsibility of picking out what I think are the most insightful comments submitted by users and members all over Inman.com, and then highlighting them for the world to see. 

In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, here are two recent examples:

From a recent Community Roundup:

This is where I need your help.  Inman.com users do a great job of leaving awesome comments on the articles, comments, and in the groups.  But I need more.  Right now, perusing the comments takes a few minutes.  I want to be so inundated with great comments that I will have to agonize over the decision as to which to highlight.  In effect, I'm asking you to make my job harder.  How's that sound?

I want to be able to show the industry and the world just how great the professionals who make up the Inman community are.  On top of that, I want you to be able to enjoy all the benefits that come from that exposure.  In order to do that, you are going to want to make sure that you have your Inman profile all filled out so that when people see your super-duper insightful comment, they will be able to find out just who that smart guy or gal is.  Make sure that your profile is public, that way I can include a link to it, making it even easier for folks to find you. 

Inman.com is all about industry news, but it is also all about YOU.  It is about you interacting with other dedicated professionals and sharing your expertise so that everyone can benefit and improve. My job is to facilitate that process, and part of that is promoting all of the great work that our users and members do. 

So that's it.  I am actually asking you to make my job harder.  I want a barrage of awesome comments, a veritable cornucopia of industry knowledge and insight. I want to have to spend hours pouring over comments, agonizing over which ones to highlight.  All you have to do is just keep up the great work commenting, and maybe take it up a notch.  In return for all your hard work, I'll make sure that everyone sees what an awesome community of professionals exists here at Inman.  The more insight we can share, the more discussion we can generate, the more we call all benefit, and I would love to be able to highlight it for the world to see.
