Many people that follow this blog are studying for the CCIE. Others are working on lower level certs. I don’t want to take a lot of time in this post since i’m halfway through my first week with IPexpert, but I’m curious…What are you going to do different this year?

By way of comments- yes comments- what is your plan of attack this year and what do you hope to accomplish?

For over a year I have been blogging about the CCIE Security.  I’ve made mention about getting another one after I finish this one.  That’s my game plan.  I am planning on Voice, followed by Wireless.  What about you?  Are you going to chase another?

Anyone ever ask what you want?

I am curious to hear what you want in a training provider.  I’m not just talking at the CCIE level.  I am talking in general, for all Cisco training.  What matters to you?  I created a poll with as much as I can think of but I am sure that I have missed something.  If you want to add something please leave a comment.

I am interested in this because I have no say over what my company delivers, seeing as how I am a lowly instructor, although I recommend a number of things based on what I know I would want.  Not much of what I recommend ever happens.

I liked a lot of the ideas that Brian Dennis had in the Internetwork Expert (IE) corporate announcement and I really like the direction that IE is heading.  But I want to know what you think.  I am curious if you have similar wants in training as to what I suggest to my company.

So put yourself in the shoes of a student, even if you are a trainer or the owner of a training company, and tell me what YOU would want.

ps- “all of the above” is at the very bottom if you want to save some time checking off boxes.

Is anyone else using Delicious for sharing bookmarks?  I’m interested in your thoughts on the service as well as whether you bookmark your own posts or only bookmark sites you find useful. 

I am also interested to hear your thoughts on Facebook.  Recently I have become more active on Facebook as I can see its power in communicating with people on multiple levels.  I can say that I dont plan on being logged into numerous systems (twitter, facebook, etc..) but I have installed the Facebook toolbar for Firefox and have gotten twitter integrated with facebook.  How about you?
