Blog Ressurected

August 24th, 2010 by Andy Didyk

I’m back.  Some significant family emergencies have kept me away from blogging for some time.  For this I am sorry, but we all know how it goes.  I’m going to be experimenting with some new content in the coming weeks, including mobile blogging and shorter posts in between the great manifestos I wish I had more time to craft.

Blogging has taken an interesting turn over the past few years, most notably its usage has begun to slip in favor of the more immediate, albeit generally less in-depth, social- and micro-blogging options.  I have mixed feelings about this, as I understand the trend and appreciate the immediacy, but wonder about the real value of these less thought-out snippets versus more considered posts.

But I’m sure the publishing industry was asking the same questions when the first blogs started to appear in the early 2000′s.

For now, I’m glad to be back and look forward to rejoining the conversation.
