i've got a problem with blogs in that i start off all labrador chasing a stick and then quickly run out of steam. after that it's all very up and down. i get busy. i get lazy. a very common story. for this reason i'm re-entering the fray with a little help from some friends. i'm hoping that this blog's multiple authors will pick up the slack when i'm in the midst of an off patch and inspire me when i'm in a purple patch.
so this is a blog with multiple authors to prop each other up. the other reason for multiple authors came from a discussion i had with peter. peter is annoyingly successful in everything he does so it follows that peter runs a very successful blog. you might have read it. i won't link to it 'cos that blows the whole point. the whole point for peter is that his blog is so damn successful it doesn't feel like his anymore. he can't say what he wants to say. his spleen can't be vented. people know who he works for. half of his company look to his blog for strategic direction. he watches his words, holds back. what was a relieving outlet is now cripplingly constipated. sorry peter, you put it much better than me...post about it. so this is his part time blog where he can anonymously say what he wants to say without getting sacked/divorced/ostracized
the rest of our little line up liked the idea too. both L and B, the other two initial posters, have established blogs but thought this one could be a good playground for the kind of unformulated, rough ideas they would worry might undermine the credibility of their main blog. i am not mad keen on anonymity generally but if it means this blog is rawer and edgier for it, that's fine by me.
So we are four: Dan; Peter; L; B and we'll be mostly blogging about tech and media stuff. I think that covers everything...just one unresolved issue: 'peter' as a pseudonym???
