Happy new 2012, friends! Wish you lots of shared happiness, trending achievements and talked-about moments :)

Today (2nd of Jan) I finally had the opportunity to check out my Google Reader after a week of active offline life and with no proper internet connection (quite typical for the holiday season I suppose). Hence, I decided to share with you one of the most interesting posts that got my attention.  They are intriguing, some of them very important, and others – great fun. And I just think you may find them helpful as well. After all, we should start the new year in the most inspiring way. So here we go:

44 social media wishes for 2012: That’s a great post by Radian6 with new year’s wishes in typical social media style. They are fun and also highlight what’s important for the digital people and what they wish for.

Happy New Year 2012: Valeria Maltoni, the author of Conversation Agent, shared an inspiring TED talk on the things that make life worth living. Finding pleasure and satisfaction in the things you do is the key to feel happy with the life you live. That’s good to remember…

5 mobile apps to help you keep your new year’s resolutions: When I write my new year’s resolutions on a sheet of paper or in a Word file I usually loose the list or forget where I’ve hidden the file. That’s why I’ve decided to storage my list in the thing that I always carry with myself – my iPhone. So I was glad to discover that app called Resolutions 2012.

As we speak of resolutions, I found this helpful list of 11 important PR resolutions that will remind us how to be better professionals in 2012.

In January it’s trendy to speak about resolutions and… predictions as well. Here I will include a list with witty and ironic social media predictions of Jay Dolan (the author of the Anti-Social Media Blog). I agree with him about the viral videos with cats and the new social media sites a.k.a. Facebook killers that are going to be born :)

Speaking seriously about digital predictions for 2012, here are two good texts: What 2012 holds for social media and 30 social media predictions for 2012 from the pros.

If you want to refresh and update your list with bloggers, Radian 6 prepared a big list with suggestions of social media disrupters of  2011. Take your time to read all the three posts (part I, part II, part III) and to check out the suggested bloggers.

Simon on the streets: QR codes campaign: This posts should remind us that even overused tools (such as the QR codes) can be seen in different perspective and used in a new way. My tip here: always consider the social environment and demographic aspect of your audience because sometimes you may have a great campaign but  not so appropriate to the lifestyle of the people you target.

It’s interesting also to check out the web design trends for 2012 as well as these amazing photos of 2012 fireworks.

Last but not least, here’s a compact guide to creating the fitness habit to those of you who resolute to sport!

Ouch, that was quite a long first post, hope you weren’t bored :)

In the end: Wish you a great start of the new year and lots of inspiration! :)
