Of course, this isn't all that new. Other than lack of sleep, coming to work with a smile on your face brightens everyone else's day as well. Doesn't matter what caused that smile...

An interesting point is that Napoleon Hill talked about this in his Chapter 11 of "Think and Grow Rich" (just a couple of chapters before his "Invisible Counselors"). The point of having love in your life and a supportive relationship to motivate you is the key to any goal achievement - much less having a great day at work later.

Additionally, some have held that at the height of sexual activity, you can reach a near-enlightened state (temporarily). And this also goes right back to older Eastern traditions.

So there is substantial data to support this - even without a 5-year study.

Kareena's point is more valuable to me than the MrBabyMan example. These long tail niches are getting longer according to recent articles. Which is perfect for content creators. Digg might not be a network I would want to be part of. But there are probably thousands of social networks now - so many that no one has any accurate count. Certainly Ning would help you create any particular network you wanted.

Take book publishing - I found a group on Ning devoted only to this. And Wil Wheaton's claim to bookselling fame was to sell his book to Star Trek/science fiction fans. And while Internet Marketing is saturated, I know for a fact there are farmers who know that they need to market online, but have no clue where to start looking - a perfect niche and subscription income plan for me: an author, farmer, and internet marketer.

Both Digg and Stumbleupon might be too broad for me to start with. More than likely, I'd start looking for people who also submitted to related areas. I'm not particularly interested in becoming some incredibly-followed guru of Internet Marketing - but I could actually co-network with similar people in order to get more visibility for this little niche of just teaching farmers how to move their existing enterprise over to the Internet. It would only depend on my sales funnel how profitable I could make it - as long as I contributed to this network I was part of.

The interesting part is that I might then "back up into" Digg as those in my little niche network would also have their own networks in Digg or SU. Watching Twitter followers expand for no known reason except good content is an example of that.
