Do you like email, phone or in-person conversation best?). This is not a gossip fest or a vent session. Share this on Facebook. Email this to a friend?

Some criticisms just are not worth responding to, most notably ’snark’-style blog comments and angry gossip articles. Gauge the value of a response. Take the celebrity strategy — respond to criticism that’s worthy of your input, and ignore anything that isn’t.

The problem that sometimes occurs with sharing with current co-workers is it can turn into office gossip. The nice thing about on-line sites is for the most part they are free, but what they dont charge in fees they can take up in time, as many of us have experienced with sites such as Facebook.

Don't gossip or share confidential things, but you get my point. This break from ringing phones, a constant stream of visitors, pinging emails, and all sorts of stimuli will allow you to breathe, sit, and "meditate" for 5 minutes.

There are all kinds of cliques and gossip. Share this on Facebook. Email this to a friend? Sometimes, the office can feel like high school. Occasionally, you even run into a workplace bully—someone who constantly criticizes, aggressively points out mistakes, and refuses to be part of your team. Share this on del.icio.us.

Also, Facebook has a few I believe. If I do end up coming up with a little extra time in the future, I will write a post on it. Try checking Yahoo Groups or Google Groups. There are quite a bit of AA forms there.

And don’t ask for gossip or stories. You can find the images online at Getty Images, Wire Image, IMDB, and any Hollywood site that covers events and gossip such as Perez Hilton. Don’t gossip.

Don’t Gossip Talking behind other people’s back is like putting your exhaustion pipe to somebody else door, while pretending you’re looking in a different direction. ’ Even people who avoid gossiping don’t realise that talking bad about yourself makes you believe it eventually. Great post. Stay Motivated!

But after working a few years in the traditional media world – which, by the way, is not a very friendly place to be, always challenged, filled with gossip and back talking – I felt the need for a change. Maybe on social media, like Twitter and Facebook ? Are you going to promote the article? Or even Delicious and Digg?
