Into the Fray
There were hundreds upon hundreds of unread blog posts in my RSS Reader when I fired it up this morning. The blogosphere knows no downtime.
At first I was daunted. I still feel a little wobbly after last week’s events. And usually when I read the marcomm blogs, I am tensed for action: to comment; to forward to my team; to moan about a competitor’s victory; to drill a great new idea into my head.
But as I spent an hour or so reading through the posts, I felt pretty good. If I’ve learned anything since January 1, I re-learned the importance of family; I felt the comfort that comes from the renewal of old bonds.
I’m not going to suggest that my blogger buddies are like kin. They’re not: they are friends, acquaintances, competitors. They are the community I am a part of, every weekday from 9am to 5pm.
I was glad to see them hard at work. I became eager to rejoin their ranks.

Welcome back, mate. Good to see you in MY pile of feeds this morning. Hope 2009 takes care of you!
I loved your thoughts here, fitting blogging with RL and making sense of how I relate in each was given a useful perspective by your post.

Sorry about the sorrow.
As far as predictions for 2009 and social media marketing……the wave has crested, the big bang “expansion” is slowing up….and it didn’t take as long as I though it would….it will be interesting to see what survives the pull into its inevitable black hole….
