Blogging has been perhaps the single most important activity I have ever undertaken; I recently stated that it trumps my Master’s in Computer Science in terms of a return on my involvement. Through my blog I have become well-known, and I have discovered countless friends and colleagues that have enriched my life in immeasurable ways. Blogging has become the primary enabler of my work as an advisor, designer, and consultant, that is at least an order of magnitude more important than other ‘marketing’ I might be involved in, like public speaking. My world is primarily structured by the connections that blogging has made, and which now make me.
I have participated — in some cases actively — in the use of dozens of social applications, but most haven’t made much of an impact.
