Kreth is known for being the author of the blog, now friends only diary, The Unbearable Heaviness of Being.She writes under the pseudonym Charmingly Neurotic.
Kreth was raised in New Jersey, and majored in English at in Jersey City, New Jersey, graduating in 1993. She moved to New York City after turning down a scholarship to pursue graduate studies in English. She married William Kreth in 2004; the marriage ended in divorce in 2006.
Blog
Kreth has written extensively and candidly about much of her personal life on her blog, The Unbearable Heaviness of Being, including her struggles with depression and OCD, her love life, and the New York City experience. Kreth calls her blog “more Sylvia Plath than Bridget Jones and uses it to chronicle her Theory of the Big Three - the theory that single women in New York City are constantly trying to acquire and keep a stable relationship, perfect apartment and great job, but inevitably, cannot have all three.
Kreth started The Unbearable Heaviness of Being Diary in 2000 at Open Diary, after she moved into a new apartment and shortly after, lost her boyfriend and job on the same day. She later moved the blog to Blogger. Kreth is known for being “dooced” from her Public Relations Director position at a well-known real estate firm in September 2005, after the firm’s Marketing Assistant hacked into her then anonymous blog and printed entries.
Career
Kreth has over 14 years of marketing communications and public relations experience. She started her career at a non-profit where she was a Marketing Coordinator, and then moved on to being a Marketing/Events Coordinator at Hilton National Marketing in the gaming department. Kreth later served as Marketing Communications Manager at RSL Communications, Event Director at Medscape, and Senior Marketing Specialist at BT Syntegra.
Following her “doocing” at a well-known real estate firm in September 2005, Kreth founded Kreth Communications. The firm where she was terminated was later acquired by a larger firm, which has ironically turned out to be one of Kreth’s biggest clients.
Kreth’s work in public relations has garnered considerable press in the last few years. Most recently, her idea of producing and hosting an apartment tour on Youtube and PropertyShark.com’s Man Map, a NYC map designed to highlight neighborhoods with the richest single men, have been covered in both the real estate trade press and mainstream news media.
Kreth has appeared on GMTV's Morning Show LK Today, CNBC's Power Lunch, Sirius Radio's Ch. 114--The Extreme Success Show, NY's CW11 and many others.
She also designs jewelry under the name: Kreth Jewelry Design, www.krethjewelrydesign.com. KRETH JEWELRY DESIGN consists of "resurrected vintage" pieces mostly made of brass, bearing letters and numbers. Kelly Kreth, the NYC designer, is fascinated by the relationships people have with certain numbers and symbols, each having a unique meaning to an individual. More so, she is intrigued by bringing pieces with a history that may have had an ordinary and mundane use, back to life as wearable art.

The collaborative production of knowledge is the simultaneous action of many people who try to combine their ideas to make a new one. In fact “collaborative” is the process where two or more people work together toward a common goal and they don’t required leadership. An easy example may be a group of students that work together to make an essay. Instead, “knowledge” is everything that one people has acquired through experience or education.
In the past
In the past everything new was registered under the copyright mark. If someone needed to use it, they should have to pay to see and use it. This was an important limit for the world innovation. Also, the access to knowledge was very: if someone had need of information, he would have gone to a library or bought newspapers or watched TV. But the most important difference is that information was only unidirectional. An example of “unidirectional information” is TV because many people can watch it but nobody can replay or ask something and the information is only one-way: from TV to audiences.
Present
In the last few years, the traditional collaboration of some individuals in meeting rooms or in conference has been passed by the global collaboration where “Traditional collaboration” may be represented by people sitting on a round table speaking (for example) about how to invent a new clean energy, and “Global collaboration” may be represented by people sitting in front of their computers who are speaking about the same argument through a webcam and who live in different countries
Future
The Internet has changed people's lives. Now the knowledge is everywhere, is free and everyone can create something new and immediately release it for free to the web population of the entire world.
Now the information may also be bidirectional. If you go to the web site of the CNN for watching a video about the principal facts of the day, if you don’t understand something there is the email for asking clarifications and there is also a blog where you can put your opinion.
Another fundamental difference from the past is that today masses of people can participate in economy like never before only connecting their computer to the internet: with the collaboration of the other person we can create encyclopaedias (I.E. ), operating systems (I.E.Linux), books and many others intellectual products.
Another very important idea is that in the past only the big companies were able to have a research and development sector because it was too expensive. Now also little and medium industries may solve their problems or their development ideas releasing them on the internet and asking the internet population to find a solution (I.E. BMW Developing Sector).

Edward Tompson, (3 March 1956 in Sydney, Australia), usually known as Eddie Tompson, was an Australian global investment tycoon and was one of the most influential men in Australia in the 1980s. He was a major shareholder of BHP Billiton Limited Public (LSE: BLT, NYSE: BHP, ASX: BHP), JSE: BIBLT.
Early life
Edward Tompson was born in Sydney, Australia to Irish immigrant parents. Edward attended Sydney Boys High School and the Horace Mann School in New York City. He enrolled in an Economics Degree from the University of Sydney, but subsequently went onto complete a Finance degree from Harvard University and graduated in 1979.
Career
Beginning with stockmarket mining purchases in his native Australia, Tompson expanded BHP into the largest mining company in the world.
According to the 1998 Forbes 400, Tompson was the 5th wealthiest Australian, with a 1998 personal net worth of AUD$2.26 billion.
During 2007-2008, Tompson's wealth was reduced due to his major stockholdings in Centro Properties Group (ASX:CNP). Centro's shares fell on the Australian Sharemarket from a mid-year 2007 trading high of over $10.00, to AUD$0.17cents in the space of 3 months, a drop of over 88%.
This was estimated to have reduced Tompson's wealth to the region of AUD$1.21 billion in late 2007.
Private Life
Tompson has two children with his Australian ex-wife. He resided in Sydney, Australia and St. George's, Bermuda.
