Congratulations Brazen Careerist

By Nick Armstrong | Published: August 25, 2009
I've long said that collaboration will be the new competition once the Millennials take over. There's no better example of that than Brazen Careerist. A blog aggregator and so much more - Brazen has grown to include more than 1,000 blogs from Gen-Y troublemakers all around the world - this blog included. They've been featured on TechCrunch and many other blogs - anyone who is part of the Brazen community knows that their success is also our success.
