The Email Wars

Over this past weekend I noticed that I have been continually posting and managing this blog for 4 years. 1276 posts later here were go again – year 5.  4 years of writing on this blog alone and 2 years on some of our earlier blogs that we started back in July of 2003.

Now what started as a place for me to write down my thoughts around things I get in my inbox, events I attend, things we do as a company and the conversations I have with myself in my head – has been embraced by 1000’s of you a month. I thank you for this.

Writing this blog on top of the travel, work, client meetings, speaking, events, wars with others out there, etc etc takes some commitment. I warn clients about this concept that if social media is a check the box strategy, don’t start. I had to create a process and routine/ritual for myself in order to stay on it which continues today. Almost like a writer (who has a proof writer and copy editor – would be awesome) who pours that glass of wine and lights that cigar before sitting down to make some pages fly – I know have this ingrained way of makiung it happen. Chalk it up now to a vice… but a good one.

But here is what I ask of you: I love it when I get some new comments of any fashion. Conversation is a two way street and as long as they are not completely offensive and you identify yourself, they will get posted. With a recent upgrade to WordPress MU 2.7 I just found 30 some comments that the spam comment system snagged along the way.. and now they are live.

Here we go… another year ahead. SPRING FORWARD of FALL BACK? I choose the first.
