Good post by the way.

Steve, I was in the exact same spot at the end of 09. I was posting almost everyday, tweeting 20 times a day, and was so consumed by my virtual life that I lost all touch with the physical world. It was cool at the moment, but thinking back I was just a slave to social media.

I decided to take a social media diet and just wrote a post about it. Would love to get your opinions on it.

I think if you focus too much on making money while blogging or blogging as "work," then it just loses all of it's appeal. Sometimes it takes a diet to really focus on what's important.

As an old school websurfer (from the late 80's :O) I have always hating the "blogging" aspect of the web, I just see it as some new trend that will come and go only to be replaced by another, BBS, Chat rooms, message boards, they come, they go. There is so much white noise and stupidity in blogging, the lists go on ad infinitum. I always wonder to myself, to people really read all these comments? How can two people converse this way? I find it really annoying. Message boards at least allow you to break out topics, bloggs are just one long, ugly text file.

I like it very much, because it has very good points. There are always falls in our life and we must pass them if we want to succeed. It simple as that. Sometimes in some fragments of my life when I blog, There is a question for that why i am doing this ??

I blog about cartoons, and I am a professional in drawing cartoons. Since the characters ever get bored, I never get bored too. Maybe you should try doing something more fun.

Yeah blogging should sometimes get quite frustrating. Its must be even more frustrating when you are a newbie and do not know exact approaches.

It is sometimes countless hours of just thinking what to write about.

Honestly, if I have nothing to say or write on my blogs, then I will just leave it alone, rather than bragging and messing up with it!

If my mind being blocked, I will usually go for a walk in the nearest parks or gardens...

Classic post. I like it very much, because it has very good points. There are always falls in our life and we must pass them if we want to succeed. It simple as that. Life wouldn't be interesting if everything was simple and ave easy. But when you do some things and when you thing that you are making contribution and help to others and community then you must be happy, although you sometimes can have bad moments, just like you have good 5 minutes sometimes.

Ah but the only difference (and I agree with you completely, might I add) is that this platform lets a schmuck like me reach out to just as many people (more in some rare cases) than a talk radio host can. It has given the power of platform to everyone who wants it -- that's the difference I think.

Otherwise, yea, same story different promotional reel.

well noted. the treadmill eh? i choose the rowing machine, (no analogy sorry, i just like the rowing machine...:) a different engagement.
re: blogs...twitter, websites, opportunities to engage, refine the art of communicating w/words or video, that effort in itself makes it all worthwhile would you agree? life is short, so much time in a day, what a great opportunity to synthesize, challenge ideas, bring unlimited or selected people together beyond borders where the likelihood of meeting in person is remote yet we come to connect in ways that are closer than some of the people within our proximity. sometimes the information shared is trivial and other times brilliant.. all in all we come together in a way that feels like traffic congestion yet there is a sort of synchronicity of people moving about their day, night, reaching out inviting us to witness a little of their lives...
Different flags...same planet..voices....freedom of expression...for now...what a tremendous opportunity to open up and learning....blog away, stay true to your unique voice..yes..i learn from you. you write from the heart and it reaches...it's why i read you. you are candid and thoughtful. thank you. keep up the excellence. ~ rox

I found that its better to quit a blog if your not getting something out of it or not able to put enough into it. I created a tech blog about three months ago but am not able to keep it up. I felt it better to cut the strings than leave my readers hanging.

"We talk about ourselves too much. We spend to much time fighting. We like products that don’t really do anything and we are all insufferable, myopic narcissists who are strangely content with that fact."
Yep - but I don't think that is confined to us internet people. Listen to talk radio...
The thing about this "thing" we call Web 2.0 is it allows us to show it off... and seek popularity... and participate in group think... Sounds like every other place doesn't it?

Luckily, I only write about those topics that REALLY interest me (stuff I'm very proud of). I'm a pretty lazy guy by nature, so I wouldn't be able to write in the first place otherwise. And this is really quite a useful post. Thanks.
