Almost two weeks into the New Year and we are feeling it. So far in 2006, (ten days) we have added seven new authors to Know More Media. As a guy foolish enough to have run a handful of marathons, I understand the importance of pacing and not burning out in the first mile. It is a fast start for us but we will apply the principle of pacing and only add authors and topics at a pace we believe we can manage. We are building software tools to enable us to comfortably pick up the pace as the year progresses.

As you can see below, this new group of authors brings “quality”  – not just quantity. Our goal is to provide a platform to business experts. Thanks to the seven below, we have met and exceeded this objective. Give them a look, they are an impressive bunch.
