Great post really like the way you compare what he was doing then to blogging now. The funny thing is I posted on my bloghttp://lenstimemanagement.blogspot.com/ this morning and that post contained content about Benjamin Franklin as well. The Law of Attraction at work?

Interesting points you find. It is funny to see that along the time, although things changed, Some theories remain the same.

“Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What’s a sun-dial in the shade?”

I love it when people put their talents in the spotlight. It’s a win/win.

You know, it is not everyday that I see a blog post talking about a historical figure’s involvement with the social media world! I enjoyed it, and basically what I got out of this was that if Franklin were alive today he would be a rich blogger, and my friend on facebook. He would probably be a cool Uncle as well!

This post recently got recirculated via Twitter. Ben Franklin’s words and thoughts truly are innovative in any age. Thank you for reminding us how truth endures through the ages.

Cheers!

I like the part where he says “Hide not your talents”. So much of what counts for talent gets lost in the deluge of useless noise. I wonder what Ben would think of the media today when almost anybody can broadcast. He might say “Blog not for the sake of blogging alone” or “Speak with purpose or not at all.”http://www.s33w.com/vb

Great stuff. I love the quotes. Overall the way you wrote the post was amazing. Benny would be a talented blogger. And he’d be getting paid from google ads with bills with his own face on them. You can’t get more boss than have your face on the $100 bill. Hopefully someday a blogger will have that.

Thanks for such a great post!

I love Benjamin Franklin and often think the U.S. would not have come to be without his wisdom. I have a page of his quotes that I get out and read when I’m feeling out of sorts about what I’m working on. Ben’s wisdom is timeless and usually kicks me in the pants and gets me going again.

I’ve read everything I can get my hands on about the man and his writings, and about his peers. They were all a fascinating bunch.
