It’s much more difficult to be in the situation itself and make decisions about what to do in a timely and effective […]
That’s a long time and it’s not a long time all at the same time. Lots happened in the last four years. I’ve been lucky enough to have seen more good come from blogging than bad.

A friend pointed me to this blog spam article in PC Advisor that paraphrases the meat of a presentation I gave about blog spam at the MIT Spam Conference in March. For the most part, Cara Garretson does a great job of summarizing my presentation. She got a few details incorrect that I want to […]
