Blogging in general

As a social media strategist, I understand that I'm supposed to prove my abilities in blogging, twitter, facebook etc. But, if I spend my time working on client projects and other work efforts, blogging for my own purposes seems redundant. 

Just went back through an older blog where I tested code and features for other users. It became a useful place for tracking helpful links, so I'm posting some here for my own future use: 

• Image Mapping: http://www.image-maps.com. I needed to map an image and it worked really well.
• Who writes it?: This site http://www.urlai.com says it can tell you about the blog’s writer based on the writing style. 
• My delicious links: http://www.delicious.com/cpd623

EDITED on 5/26/2022 to reflect that two of these links no longer work. Keeping the original focus of the article, but laughing internally at how much has changed since I published this post. 

Lost Six Months LOL

Well, I launched the blog and got busy and that was that.

Been writing (managed to double my word count for NaNoMoWrite month over last year) but didn't finish the 50,000 word goal. I do have a good idea for a novel now though and will continue to work at it.

Working on some web redesigns and expanding some social media outreach. It's been a year of changes and I am truly looking forward to flipping the calendar this month.

New to this...

OK, blogging, is it really going to keep on being a force, or does the shorter twitter universe and facebook updates have more value on the web? Amazing the changes over the past 10 years, looking forward to the next wave of innovation too.
