I found the Blogger interface cumbersome, and, gulp, SLOW. i like the microblogging platforms cuz they don't demand i be at my desk (sorta the point since insights happen where they happen). <br/><br/>i have also been distracted/squeezed by SO MANY CHOICES. delicious, twitter, facebook. plus some "private" blogs i am maintaining for clientele ont he sidelines. so my broadcasting has actually INCREASED and become more influential than ever before (cuz, heck, i now got real clients reading these touchpoints, now), but they are dispersed across so many media and no longer formally "at the blog". yeah, same sentiments here.

I say we stage a massive revolt and get as many planning bloggers as possible to switch their primary location to some other format at the same time.

Viva la Revolucion!

Tumblr and Twitter are great, and I'm already super-addicted to Flickr. I feel guilty when I'm not posting, notably because I know my parents go to all my spots every day to be sure I'm alive.<br/><br/>I've noticed the dropoff, too. But not in the purer marketing blogs out there. And I'm going to say this here, because I feel like it's kinda a hidden place to say it, but I feel like the hard-core marketing folks will NEVER run out of some cutesy story that randomly ties in to the business of helping people sell stuff.<br/><br/>Franky, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about.<br/><br/>Because 1) I don't think I do know what I'm talking about, 2) I feel like a blowhard whenever I write about work stuff, and 3) I can't imagine anyone out there caring about my opinion on marketing, planning or whatever.<br/><br/>But I do enjoy popping up a picture that I found, or pointing people to something funny.

Franky, I’m tired of it. I’m tired of trying to sound like I know what I’m talking about.

Because 1) I don’t think I do know what I’m talking about, 2) I feel like a blowhard whenever I write about work stuff, and 3) I can’t imagine anyone out there caring about my opinion on marketing, planning or whatever.

But I do enjoy popping up a picture that I found, or pointing people to something funny. Hence, Tumblr.

I don't even like posting on my own blog anymore b/c I like the quick format of tumblr now. I might make a permanent switch and close down my blog. I'm running out of interesting things to say anyways! I agree Seth. I don’t even like posting on my own blog anymore b/c I like the quick format of tumblr now.
