Month: September 2005

If you are a reader of one of my blogs and are interested in ASP and Enterprise Software blogging, please feel free to contact me. I will be transitioning out of my role as an author at the CIO Weblog to fortify my efforts in other areas. Creative Weblogging will be looking at qualified candidates.

I plan to go through a process of changing my ante in the blogging world as well as rebalancing the consulting projects I am working on. 2005 has really been the personal year of the blog for me, having started more than five blogs with serious effort and joining a blogging company. For reasons too detailed to go into here, the fuel is waning on some of these efforts, and I am trying to figure out where I am going to make my next mark. I will continue to strenghen my efforts at 21Publish, but other things are up in the air, and I will ante down in some areas. The organizing principles for me are based on how I can contribute to 1) entrepreneurism or ventures or 2) social good. Any thoughts are welcome.

My post eBay Acquires Skype indicated some referral traffic from Professor Alex Brown at the University of Delaware, College of Business & Economics. Professor Brown appears to be using his blog to both 1) offer students an opportunity to express interest to cover and analyze the eBay-Skype deal in a marketing class and 2) point students to information and opinions about the deal in the blogosphere.

This is a good, and often forgotten, example of how professors can make their business courses very timely and relevant to students. It is also a good example of how professors can use blogging technologies to communicate with their students.
