There is nothing&lt;br&gt;wrong with making a good living, yet so many believe that insights,&lt;br&gt;knowledge, information and services should be free that people are&lt;br&gt;beginning to think that time is free too, but its not.  It is our most&lt;br&gt;valuable assett in the knowledge economy and increasingly our right&lt;br&gt;brain creativity is what is most highly prized by the market&lt;br&gt;(entrepreneurs, movies, books, games, media, software, green tech,&lt;br&gt;corporate communications and even biotech to name a few).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The display rates feature will be part of the new Social Media&lt;br&gt;Professionals Directory of Social Media Club - finally completing the&lt;br&gt;requirements doc today.
