Yes, I have been blogging less.
This has not been part of some master plan, but lots of traveling has gotten in the way, along with things heating up around Kloudshare.
Additionally, one of the things I think I don't do as well as perhaps some is multi-task. I am great at handling a small number of regular activities, like coding or blogging. But the more diverse creative tasks you add to the plate the more mental energy, if not time, each of them takes, and at times, something has to give. Writing speeches, and business plans, and conference programs all take mental energy that suck time from thinking about broader industry activity, and therefore blogging.
But fear not! through the holidays, I will probably continue to operate on a somewhat abreviated blog schedule, but I hope to be back to a normal flow by the beginning of the year. Blogging has great value to me because it forces me to think about the world in which we operate and allows me to engage in conversations with people who inform my thinking. Blogging has no doubt been incredibly valueable to my professional efforts in 2008, and so I look forward to a full blogging year in 2009.
Nice to hear you're busy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Kloudshare!
Don't feel bad. I'm a believer that it's better to blog for quality than to try to meet some periodic arbitrary schedule when you have nothing to day. I just posted my own blog entry a few minutes ago, and it was my first posting in about two months after posting almost weekly for a while. The fact is that I was too busy and frankly didn't have anything new to say.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your upcoming posts, keep the quality up!
GREAT NEWS!!!!

It's 2009. Happy New Year! Come back!
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay. It's been more than a month...or else my Internet connection is *really* slow.
ReplyDeleteHey , you have a very good blog, its excellent information in its field. You have done a great job, keep doing it for to help, people like Myself. I read many blogs earlier about this topic. But I never found complete information earlier, but your blog is giving real information. I also have several WordPress blogs. And in my experience social bookmarking, article submission and press release submission is way to quickly quickly get my blog posts spidered and am on page one of Google many times in a few hours.
ReplyDeleteHank,
ReplyDeleteI miss your blog! Please continue telling us why does everything suck.
I hope everything is fine with you.
i just shit a comet.
ReplyDeleteseriously.
i-i think i just shit on my girlfriend.
Hank,
ReplyDeleteCommenting should cost 1$.
Without any obligation to display the comment.
I know, it's similar to the idea, that sending email to certain addresses (who opt-in) should cost 1 cent, in order to prevent spam.
I guess it's just not possible to implement it for email, I don't know. For comments however I think it could be a relatively simple website, that links your openid to your paypal account, and works as a comment authentication plugin for blog engines. If you want to comment on a website where (only) paid comments are accepted, you could sign up for the the service.
It would be a considerable income stream for high quality content producers, but more importantly a free way of getting rid of all the unwanted comments. I'm sure some people would still send unwanted comments for 1$, but the income could be spent on a moderator who deletes them.
SMS, and snailmail cost money. Comments should cost money too! Something must be done with these kinds of issues already.
Mr. Hank, you need to start writing. I have put your blog as my favorite as "the blog with the coolest name" from the very beginning. You do have things to say that are unique and thought-provoking. I have been an avid reader and I am sure I am not the only one. Come back!!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Hank. Return to us. We miss you.
