Giles Turnbull asked various people why they gave up blogs.
The various responses are fascinating… My favorite: “General sense of despair with: a) myself, b) the internet population in general.”

Or how about this… potential employers Google me, find my blog, and:
– Don’t like what I have to say.
– Figure I have too much time on my hands.
– Worry about me blogging company secrets if I get hired.
I recently had a very unpleasant experience with my blog coming up in a job interview, as seen by this entry here on blogging and privacy.
I’m undecided what I’m going to do with my blog at this point. I’m thinking that I may start an anonymous LiveJournal for my personal / controversial thoughts, and just blog bland or uncontroversial-but-informative stuff on my public blog with my name on it. Or maybe one blog for my friends and family (here’s what I did this week), another for rants, and one for professional musings.
Aggggh!
It just becomes all to complicated at this point, and then I ask myself: DON’T I have better things to do?

Just having finished some work on chapter on MOOs and virtual environments in education, I thought I would take some blogging time. I just read Gile Turnball’s investigation of why people give up blogging (via danah). Time seems to be…

From why start a weblog to why did you stop?
Favourite response, “General sense of despair with: a) myself, b) the internet population in general.”
I got an interview this week, simply because of my blog. This is the way I feel, here I am, this is me. I will not be your companies robot, I have my own passions and thoughts and I won’t pretend otherwise. As an employer, I would want an office full of creative bloggers. I might blog on their time? Spare me, like they aren’t researching their upcoming vacation plans with their door shut. If some “boss” can’t handle that, then *I* don’t want too work for them and I believe it is they, who need to get a life. Apparently, as a blogger, I have one and its there for you too see.
