130908 -        Perhaps you might be interested in putting my Stephen Covey
130909 -        blog on your site in some way?  You can look at it and decide
130910 -        what you think, at least.  You can find it at

130915 - This follows up the email to David that links to the record on 050330
130916 - addressing his earlier letter on that date. ref SDS 16 0001
130918 -  ..
130919 - David's Internet address for Covey appears to contain a wide variety
130920 - of advertisements under Google for products and services related to
130921 - Covey's work.  A total of five (5) advertisements suggets weblogs and
130922 - other activity on the Internet, like Eugene Kim's collaboration site
130923 - have attempted to monetize the investment of time creating and
130924 - maintaining content on the Internet by selling advertising.  Although
130925 - Eugene's site does not seem to be following this path, it reflects
130926 - growing awareness that people are spending more time looking that
130927 - content on the Internet than in print magazines and newspapers,
130928 - leading to a switch in advertising dollars from print to the Internet.
130930 -  ..
130931 - Weblogs, like David's work on Covey, provide a convenient way to sell
130932 - advertising by engaing people in discussion about a particular popular
130933 - topic.  More discussion increases the number of accesses, which is a
130934 - metric used to set rates for advertising space.
130936 -  ..
130937 - This may account in part for David's request to reference his Internet
130938 - address for Covey in SDS records, per above, ref SDS 0 3M5N, because
130939 - more links increase the chances people will open a revenue generating
130940 - resource for David, and by extension for Covey and various vendors
130941 - advitising Covey related products and services listed on Davis's
130942 - Internet address.  The idea of weblogs offers a compounding value for
130943 - advertisers because engaging in discussion expands the pool of people
130944 - visiting the Internet address who will see, and act on advertising.
130946 -  ..
130947 - Examination of advertisements on David's Internet address shows they
130948 - display without significant interruption to the nominal purpose of
130949 - promoting Covey's ideas.
130951 -  ..
130952 - This may fit the model Gary proposed on 041104 to monetize SDS content
130953 - on the Internet, ref SDS 13 MM6K, following plans on 040927 for a
130954 - business model. ref SDS 12 H67I

131303 -    1.  Thanks for your letter today referencing your new web site on
131304 -        Steven Covey's work, following up your letter on 050330 that
131305 -        also discussed cognitive therapy. ref SDS 16 0001
131307 -         ..
131308 -    2.  Please note there are 4 action items pending which you have not
131309 -        addressed.
131311 -         ..
131312 -    3.  When time permits, I will enter your letter into the record,
131313 -        along with a reference to your website, as requested in your
131314 -        letter today, shown below.
131316 -  ..
131317 - Went ahead and added a link from the record on 921205 that reviews
131318 - Covey's work, ref SDS 1 0001, to this record that references David's
131319 - website.
131321 -  ..
131322 - Letter to David continues...

131324 -    4.  I noticed the following on your website...
131325 -
131326 -             "Stephen Covey's Seven (7) Habits of Highly Effective
131327 -             People is going to be the subject of this blog.  I am just
131328 -             finishing a masters degree in inter-disciplinary
131329 -             humanities and philosophy, and I have a fairly large
131330 -             familiarity with experimental/theoretical psychology,
131331 -             albeit in an informal and "lay" sense, so hopefully I can
131332 -             do justice to this text, and be appropriately analytical
131333 -             and critical."
131335 -         ..
131336 -    5.  This critical thinking and energy can spread the word on
131337 -        advancing from information technology (IT) to a culture of
131338 -        knowledge.  For example, on 000716 Professor Joseph Ransdell at
131339 -        Texas Tech commented that Communication Metrics solves a long
131340 -        standing problem in philosophy and science. ref SDS 10 7838
131342 -         ..
131343 -    6.  Two points might be of interest in your study of philosophy and
131344 -        psychology, and in supporting Covey's 7 Habits through
131345 -        blogging...
131346 -
131347 -        1.  Technology can augment intelligence, as explained in NWO,
131348 -            ref OF 10 A56M, and this capability draws technology and
131349 -            religion together toward a science of life, also, in NWO.
131350 -            ref OF 10 4723
131352 -             ..
131353 -        2.  Covey's ideas on "seek first to understand" by writing a
131354 -            diary or journal to "sharpen the saw" is a foundational
131355 -            step toward better personal and organizational memory that
131356 -            lifts the capacity to think, remember, and communicate, as
131357 -            set out in POIMS, ref OF 7 3742, this has real consequences
131358 -            to get things done on the job, fitting for an effective
131359 -            "science of life" illustrated by examples on 020708.
131360 -            ref SDS 11 MZ6O
131362 -         ..
131363 -    7.  Again, congratulations on your new web site.  I will make a
131364 -        reference, per your request.  Look forward to hearing your
131365 -        thoughts on expanding Covey's 7 Habits to advance toward a
131366 -        culture of knowledge.
