Each Friday, I open the Brag Basket as a fun place to give someone a pat on the back, brag, or promote yourself and your projects. The Brag Basket is open for everyone, whether from a small town, a big city, or anywhere in the world. (But it’s true that I love small town brags!)
Last week, Susan of Build a Solo Practice made the Wall Street Journal, the Communicatrix bragged on her BF acting on his convictions, Giovanna of Imperfect Action bragged on her son and talked about her blog, too. Think Positive Blog’s Kirsten bragged on Kristen (that’s confusing to type!), PokerPlasm bragged on a cool Twitter poker event, Joyce bragged on her partner Sandi, Grant bragged on Blog for Profit, Marco bragged on his new Business Loan Financing site, TJ tweeted a brag on Twalala (Twitter with a mute button!), Paul bragged on our own Jon, Jeff bragged on his Northstar team, and finally, my Mom Maesz bragged on that speedy new computer she is playing with! Hurray to all of us!
But this week, it’s Halloween! So I’m giving bonus points for all your scarily good news. NOTE: I’ll be away from the keyboard most of Friday, but I will respond when I get back. In the meantime, cheer for each other.
Will you put something in the Brag Basket this week? You can brag on a friend, your own project, yourself, others, anything! You don’t need special permission, and you don’t have to be from a small town. Just leave a comment right here. There’s no deadline, so you can brag anytime during the weekend, and I’ll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

We launched the first neighborhood in our limited beta of our site, http://Neighborsville.com, this week for a small group of neighbors in Willow Glen, San Jose, CA. We’re getting great feedback and working on our next release!
Hooray, Ryan! We love local sites, so I’ll be watching your progress. Congrats!
Bragging about last night’s Inaugural Twitter Poker Tour Event. A good showing at the tables and it looks like people are interested in playing each week. Its nice to see!
Gotta brag today about my home town team the Phillies – we finally won the World Series after 28 years!!
@jeffwilson, a pastor at http://www.hhbc.com in Edmond, OK and a blogger at http://www.imageforth.com, is working very hard to bring his church and people online by giving classes in Twitter (he’s at twitter.com/jeffwilson), Facebook, and other forms of social media, etc. and showing folks how they can use these tools for themselves. Jeff’s a great guy, family man, and a friend from high school and college. Check him out!
Bragging on Jackie Huba and Ben McConnell for throwing a whale of a conference yesterday, SWOMfest. My favorite part was the “live” case study of mamboberry.com — a new small biz in Austin. Jackie interviewed the owner, Jacob, and then we broke into small groups and brainstormed ideas for his business and how to build word of mouth. Then we presented the ideas to Jacob. I saw he joined Twitter this morning (@mamboberry).
Congrats, PokerPlasm! Sounds like such a fun event. (We should get Maesz to enter. She would kick butt!)
Laura, you and all the Phillie fans must be crazy-happy! Enjoy!
Troy, I always love to see an Okie doing good things! Congrats to Jeff. :)
Connie, I’m so glad to hear it was a great conference! The live case study sounds like an excellent project! Congrats to you on attending, as well as to Jackie and Ben for the event!
Jon Swanson sent his brag over via Twitter:
“brag: AOC2. with you and @roberthruzek and @conniereece and @joannayoung and….(i won’t do all 237)”
Congratulations, Jon, and all of us, for the Age of Conversation 2.
Small world! Jeff Wilson leads the communications department at Henderson Hills, where I have the privilege of working on his team! He’s doing a great job pushing new technologies in the Church.
I’m going to pat myself on the back for getting the Most Enterprise Potential award at OpenBeta, last night. When I built StopForwarding.Us I never expected anything like this.
Another round of applause for Eric! Hooray! :)
I’m going to brag on the K12Online Conference at http://k12onlineconference.org What an awesome online, free conference with special bragging shout-outs to the conveners; Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, Wes Fryer, Dean Shareski and Darren Kuropatwa.
Wow! Congratulations to everyone at the conference! :)
