I’ve been very much enjoying Russell’s posts on commencing blogging again, and the re-emergence of web-publishing in an old-school stylee in the wake of Steve Gillmor’s farcical claim that RSS is dead (presumably it took three months for anyone to notice this post because they were following it in an RSS reader instead of twitter). Also nice to see Simon starting to use his blog as the external brain for his book, and to see Tom Watson enjoying his new found post-ministerial freedom to start making some punchy and profound pronouncements.
So, although one is nowhere near in the same league as those guys, the value of blogging is being demonstrated once more. And I found the best description of a blog on David Hepworth’s blog: he describes it as “a bunch of thoughts that won’t go anywhere else.” Lovely.
So here we go again…
Hurrah! Welcome back. It’s like the Ska revival all over again. And thanks for the nudge, I was starting to slip again.
Oh yes – it’s the start of the blogging revival. I’m thinking of starting “>140 – the campaign for real blogging”
