It’s happening all around the world. Blogs are either being left unattended for months at a time or worse yet, becoming victims of what’s commonly known as “mercy killing.” After all, who has time to write a semi-complete thought when you can just spit out a single sentence about what’s on your mind?
Well, this is my declaration to get this thing going again. Not right at this moment though. I’m too tired to write anything of substance and I have some work to do for my day gig.
But I hope to bring a variety of content about what’s going on in my corner of the world and what I’ve been thinking about. I’d also like to compile some writing to possibly assemble into an online book. I’m gonna have work on my follow-through. I think I have the first two chapters of 50 books ready but that’s about it.
So use Facebook for what it’s good at — keeping people connected at the base level — but not at the expence of the care and nurture of your blog.
Sidenote: I don’t Twitter much but was wondering if anyone can say that Twitter killed their Facebook?

Now, how much time did you spend on Facebook immediately after writing this post?
I can’t say that Twitter killed my Facebook. I think linking my Tweets to Facebook status updates helped–I’m sure to get comments in both places. Also, we use Facebook for a lot of campus events.

Zippo. I’m at work so I can’t get to it. Notice that you can share my posts in FB now.

Dang, I gotta fix my DNS entry for hughbiquitous. Leave off the www and it works… but if you just try hughbiquitous.com you’ll find a site there.
Sadly it’s not much better than what you see at “www” though…
