Just read Om Malik’s “In 12 years of blogging, the more things change, the more they stay the same”. Though I launched this site nearly 10 years ago, I’ve been blogging longer. Whether more than 12 years, I’m unsure. His article, though, gave me pause. Lately, I’ve been distributing my interests across multiple sites. The logic being to ensure content consistency. However, as Om points out, by doing such I run the risk of being just another site. Without the unique blend of content that reflects my interests, that tells my story, things become somewhat sterile and devoid of uniqueness. Blogging’s strength is how it brings unique voices forward.
Now, what to do with such knowledge. One thing: work on reintegrating my web presence. More postings here, vs all the distributed channels. Also, though, I shall feel free to expand and explore all my interests here. Expanding on the unique perspective that is, well, me. So, forward I go.
