A Return to the Art of the Blog

Enough micro-blogging for the time-being.

Although the world is all A-Twitter with "conversations" of 140 characters or less, I am feeling more and more compelled to return to the Art of the Blog. It's been 6+ months...my excuse has been, "I'm too busy delivering Digital Solutions to our clients to talk about it".

The funny thing is that the Web Log remains, in my opinion, the most appropriate method of evangelizing and demonstrating one's proficiency in (any) given field, as well as distributing communications efficiently on a global basis.

I've been quite intrigued by the power of the "tweet" and have, in just a few short months, managed to succinctly say enough about technology and marketing, general aviation or cycling that I've generated over 300 'followers' with my short bursts within the Twitterverse.

Nevertheless, I now feel like the Tweet is better-suited to creating a following, but that one's followers, if interested enough, will want to gravitate towards a more substantial source of commentary and insight about topics of interest.
