Reach out to us and let us know that you're interested in what we think and feel, and we'll get along just fine!

Sabera -- Thanks for the different perspective! I hadn't thought about how Millennial behaviors vary from country to country. It would be really interesting to compare the do & don't lists of Millennials from various nations/cultures...definitely a project I would want to take part in!

Molly -- These are definitely my own list of dos and don'ts, and I'm sure there will be differences among different Gen-Yers. Thanks for sharing some of your own dos and don'ts!

TV offers a whole different world to people in villages, and that essentially is one of their biggest source of information and aspiration (although internet is making inroads in areas of education and agricultural purposes). It is such an interesting landscape :-)

TOP IDEA: Daniel Sunshine Three topics that I'm interested in are: - Social media business models that work. - Social media tools that save lives (new situational awareness tools for use in disaster scenarios like Haiti as seen in this video of Andy Carvin with NPR Social Media http://bit.ly/aomDQA and other lifesaving uses of social media that we can find). - Emerging social media trends in (federal or local) government.

TOP IDEA: Daniel Sunshine I'm starting a new media innovation and trends group and would like to invite Brazen members to get in touch if you are interested in playing a roll. The group will identify top online and tech trends and will collaborate to create blog posts on the subjects. This is a great way to focus on topics that interest you and feature your insights to a broader audience. I used to head National Geographic's Gen Y Trends Group and love analyzing the impact of innovation. Post a comment if interested.

Emily Verkruyse So what brands do you think will have social media worked into their Super Bowl spots/campaigns today? Think any will surprise us? (Or any will be missing from TV completely, a la Pepsi?)

Very few have actively continued the conversation on their social media accounts to allow their $3 million investment to reach its full return.

Cross-posted from the Personal Branding network: ---- I'm new to Brazen and in the middle of a unconventional job app. To get a job at HubSpot (an online marketing software company), I made a targeted blog and used Twitter. And sure enough, I got their attention! I'm posting here in hopes that we can brainstorm some ideas on how we can make this ever bigger - Mashable-worthy, etc. Let me know what you guys think: www.heyhubspot.com

Megan Atkinson Also, it's difficult keeping on who wants what type of updates and info. I get people who want heads-ups on jobs, others want resume help, some want to know what's new in the energy tech world, etc. I've got a twitter and a blog so far, but it seems like I'm missing the mark somewhere still. Twitter limits content and people seem to 'forget' about the blog.
