I really like Rypple, for formative evaluations during training; for brainstorming; and I am going to follow your example and ask some trusted clients and colleagues what my new year resolution should be.

One of the main motivations for joining Rypple was the potential of co-authoring a social website for self-improvement. And honestly, until I started using Rypple in a candid manner, I did not realize how effective this form of feedback can be. People truly don't hold back and 200 characters seems to be plenty to get a point across. Rypple is free to join and use for this sort of self-improvement - be it professional or not. Thanks Ryan.

I was saving that for my next blog because I was afraid of making this one too long.

Even if I accept that you have appropriate metrics for measurement on Rypple, you're still missing out on Specific and Time-Constrained. How much will you improve your communication skills and by when? I think you’re still missing the point on SMART.
