While I may still pop in and post on my vox blog from time to time, my more permanent space is here:
Hope to see y'all there! And I promise I'll try to blog more regularly.
One of the bloggers I enjoy checking out but never commented on until today is Liz Strauss. Today was her 2nd blog birthday, and I decided to delurk and add my voice to her multitude of birthday greetings. Well serendipitiously my delurk ended up being her 50,000th comment on her blog and she sent me $50! Totally unexpected.
If there's a blog you enjoy, what's stopping YOU from saying hello? Good things happen when you delurk!
I have noticed that since I got busy watching all of the activity at SXSW in real time roughly 10 days ago, I have been blogging less and less and twittering more. In some ways, I've noticed it fits my lifestyle very well. Who has time to blog deep thoughts when juggling a full-time business, a toddler, and an infant? There's also the admitted thrill of watching the pulse of web2.0 as it happens. The real world is beginning to take notice. I was amused beyond end to see the Tara Hunt/Robert Scoble twitter war make the Wall Steet Journal because I had been watching the thing unfold in real time in my friends' feed. We even twittered our most recent EBSQ Live event as it happened.
Following the lead of innovators 30boxes and mag.nolia, EBSQ even created its own official feed for news and service updates. And now the burden is upon me to explain twitter to a sub-group of people to whom I have had a hard time explaining the likes of Squidoo lenses or why blogging will help their art careers. It should be an interesting conversation that I'll no doubt document on twitter.
