Hey all you Washington D.C. people!!! I want to start creating some Twitter Lists by city to help Brazen members connect w/ each other locally. I'm starting w/ Washington D.C. because I know that you all are an engaged bunch. So leave your Twitter ID as a reply below and we will make sure to add you to the Official Brazen D.C. Twitter List.

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.

Hi, everyone! I'm moving to the DC area next month from Michigan. I'm hoping to find a job in journalism or communications, so any news or tips related to DC job hunting, open positions or life in DC would be much appreciated.

What's up Bill and all other DC Brazen folk? Hope all is well this Friday!
Nisha Chittal
Just a clarification about tomorrow -- the happy hour is at Clyde's in Chinatown, not Georgetown. See you guys there!
Alex J. Avriette:
Eventbrite page says it's "sold out." Is this the case? Also, I'm not a "member" of a "social media club," need I be? Also, I am @avriette.

People also notice what behaviors get rewarded. When employees see others who work long hours get promoted, they tend to do the same.
James Walker:
But you can't leave out the other pieces though. If its just work long hrs, you get promoted with nothing else, I see people leaving.

Interesting to hear that work/life balance is and outdated. Many Co.'s continue to promote it as a value and their employees tend to laugh.
James Walker:
What I see in my circle of friends is an acceptance of this as long as the work is interesting, we can have some autonomy and get recognized

It depends on the co. My current boss values my time/cares that I get time off. Other co.s not so much.

You can blur when your work is something that interests you. Building on RH, I can shift the 8work/4home thing either way if interested.
