One of the things I’ve always held to for CRT’s blog is “If we don’t have anything to say, let’s not make up something just so we can have a post.” The problem with this is sometimes we’re quiet for over a month.
However, its usually not because we have nothing to say, its because we have nothing LARGE to say. I find myself getting stuck where 1) it’ll take too much time to write up what I want and/or 2) I feel like everything I write has to be HUGE which leads back to number 1. In talking with Liz Luby from BurbFeeder a few weeks ago at the NSBAR meeting, one of the things she mentioned in both her and mine session on blogging is that it doesn’t always have be a giant manifesto or essay.
Recently, like others in the RE tech community, I’ve been playing with Twitter. Since you’re limited to 140 characters, I find myself leaving lots of tweets on there that just have a single thought (when not using it a high latency instant messenger.) In thinking about it, I find that I drop more on twitter because I don’t feel the pressure that I need to write the next great treatise on <insert subject here>.
So, my promise/threat to you, CRT Blog reader, is to post more often, even if its just a paragraph on a single item. (Beware, there will probably be another post within the next day.)
