Comments on: Rebranding http://stigmergicweb.org/2007/10/10/rebranding/ I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly - Michel de Montaigne Thu, 16 Oct 2008 03:50:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: StigmergicWeb » Blog Archive » Last-ish post: So long and thanks for all the fish http://stigmergicweb.org/2007/10/10/rebranding/#comment-56099 StigmergicWeb » Blog Archive » Last-ish post: So long and thanks for all the fish Mon, 29 Oct 2007 18:36:54 +0000 http://stigmergicweb.org/2007/10/10/rebranding/#comment-56099 <p>[...] The second reason is restlessness. Way back in 2003 (that feels like such a long time ago) Alan Levine noted that many edu-blogs seem to be abandoned after about a year. If that is the case, I’ve put in more than my time here. This incarnation of my blogging started in June of 2004 after trying other formats for a couple of years, and I just have a feeling that it is time to move on.

Life does seem to change in seasons, so perhaps you are entering or wanting to enter a different season of blogging. I think my wife would like it if I entered a season of no blogging. I'd be crazy to ignore her, of course, and I'm not... We did an "evening technology fast" last December that she wants to repeat again this year. It was great on many levels. Balance is hard to find. I'll be curious to know how things continue to change for you in this regard.... Thanks for sharing your journey.</p> Rob: I resonate with your struggle to balance family time with blogging, and also write multi-dimensionally rather than just about education or educational technology issues.

I hope we can meet again. Your blog is up for renovation... good luck with that, I'm sure it will be a fun project. The audio you taped for the podcasts when I mentioned Molly and Tara, is it possible that I could get a copy?</p> <p>Talk to you soon.</p> Rob, it was so nice meeting you at BarCamp.

Heather - I really enjoyed that post about Fall and the Vinyl Cafe. I hope you include many more like this in your new brand.

The tag line of my own blog "Building Social Capital One Geek at a Time" seems to have fallen by the wayside.

I love forward to reading what you have to say on a multitude of topics, just as I have when you’ve written about education.

I think my own rebranding helped me already ... although I didn't stray too far from where I was. However, at some point I like reading "people" rather than particular topics. In other words, you've got a fan for life, and you could pretty much talk about anything coherently, and I'll be around joining in on the conversation.</p> <p>OH ... does this effect your Edtech Posse-ness in any way?</p> <p>All the best Rob.</p> I’m looking forward to the changes in the next while for you, Rob.

OH … does this effect your Edtech Posse-ness in any way?

All the best Rob.
