Over the past year I have taken a hiatus from blogging. Instead, I have been using Twitter as a real-time learning and collaboration platform to understand what is happening now, what the great thinkers of the world are thinking and also to collaborate with people. With all of this information, I have been re-tweeting a lot, but have also provided some of my own contributions. The challenge is that 140 characters is great snapshot, but is not necessarily enough characters to present an idea, story or approach.
A blog on the other
hand has its advantages:
- It allows me to write whenever I want at a frequency that has no expectations.
- It provides an archive of communication.
- It allows for rich media and links to content throughout the internet.
- It allows for a feedback mechanism.
- It allows for more than 140 characters.
- It is a familiar medium.
- It is Open.
There are many more
advantages, but instead of listing them, let’s just get started.
Here is how I am
anticipating this to work. Periodically,
I will write a post. The frequency of
the posts is unknown and could be several times per week to once a month. The posts will be typically 500 words or less
so that the each post will be a quick and easy read.
This is an
evolution, so please be patient as I get my bearings and please do provide me with feedback.
