It's funny, some people saw the angst in my previous post, others the sarcasm, I guess everyone will interpret it differently, but the spirt of it seems to have struck a cord....in a good way, I think, at least that's what I've heard back.

The truth is, there are a lot of us "doing it" every day, and many of us are doing a damn good job. What exactly the "it" is changes for us all.

For me and a lot of people I talk with here, the "it" is social media work, it's what I do every day and like so many of my colleagues and peers, I try damn hard to do it really well â€" and lord knows we're all growing tired of hearing about things when they *don't* go well. I know many of you guys feel the same, so it occurred to me to try and kick-start a mini-meme here by asking an obvious question: you're each smart, you work hard, you've earned some respect and most importantly, some experience with social media:

What are you proud of?

What are the companies, organizations, clients, projects, initiatives, etc., that you're proud of? Save the case studies for the awards, the details for your business and the BS for your resume. Seriously.

What are you proud of?

For me, I'm proud of my work with Yahoo! the last 3+ years. It's run the gamut from blogger relations and trench community work to media production and special events. In between the heartbreaks and the ass kickings, it's been enjoyable, I've learned a ton and I'm proud of what I've been able to accomplish working with them. Most recently, I'm proud of my work with Sony PlayStation, particularly their community development efforts - something I hope to blog more about here soon.

So, I'm picking three people at random from my feeds list today to get their take and to get this started: Constantin Basturea, Chris Thilk, Kamie Huyse.

What are you proud of?

This could be fascinating and grow or it could be tragically lame and go nowhere, we'll see...;)
