The changing conversation
Jim | 2.02.2010
WOW I haven’t blogged in quite some time, and from what I see when I look at my RSS feeds, many I follow aren’t bogging either!
I can’t speak for others but I know that I’ve been both busy being dad as well as focussing my conversation on the Twittersphere. Why?
The reasons are cheap as they are nasty:
- It’s immediate. I receive instant gratification that people have read my thoughts right then and there.
- If I have a question that needs answering, I have access to real people with real varied opinions available to answer me.
- The people who follow me are interested in what I have to say. That’s why they bother.
- I am interested in what the people I follow have to say. That’s why I bother.
- I can seek advice from other business owners and get response.
Twitter has been panned for meaningless conversation but the experience I have had has been anything but; I have had coffee with a PR firm which I may choose to help me with some real business, I’ve met people who encourage my strange taste in music (that’s for another blog post) and I also get to follow Lance Armstrong’s training routine which in turn inspires me to get off my arse and go to the gym.
It’s not for everyone, and it has taken me away from this blog for a little while, but it works for many.
So, for long-winded thinking I have our blog; for quick snappy thoughts and musings, I have my Twitter.
Glad to be back.

Evie by Kareena Zerefos
Jim | 20.09.2009
I’ve been a huge fan of Kareena Zerefos’ work and when the opportunity came up to have her do an illustration of my daughter, I jumped at it – as it’s Evie’s third birthday in a few days, it arrived just in time.
View more of Kareena Zerefos’ work here.
