Are you a Specialist or a Generalist? Or some combination of both? If you’re living a hectic 21st century life, then you’re really both. You’re a Speneralist.

I’m pretty confident that I coined the word Speneralist. After spending a fair amout of time learning to blog and learning rudimentary elements of the so-called Web 2.0 social media tools abound the interwebs, I realized that we are becoming increasingly specialized and yet we also are becoming more generalists. The contradiction was unbearable.

Also, CEO and marketing guru Seth Godin had once declared that We Specialize in Everything. At the time I had mostly agreed with him, but thought we needed to build out his idea to incorporate our generalist characteristics. So then I saw a photoshoped image on Flickr of a cow swimming with a dolphin and it hit me: we’re all Speneralists.

And because I believe that the Speneralist is practically a new species, it’s going to need some help along its way. That’s what this weblog hopes to be: a hacker of sorts for all you Speneralists.
