Thank You.

Robert Scoble wrote a reflective piece yesterday on Why tech blogging has failed you. In it, he discusses what he sees as a trend in tech blogging toward focusing only on “the next big thing” instead of exploring topics in depth and providing valuable insight, tips, and examples.

He also cites as failures: lack of focus on community-building, groupthink and lack of originality when many A-list bloggers all write about the same thing at the same time with little variation, and the unproductive, vitriolic nature of some commenters who spend their time and energy attacking the bloggers who wrote the posts on which they’re commenting – and each other.

It got me thinking that I’m lucky to have such a great community of readers and participants here.

You take the time out of your busy days to read my posts. You leave excellent, thoughtful comments. You’ve written valuable guest posts and guest series’. I’m grateful for all of you, for your involvement at every level, and I just want to say thank you to all of you.

I like having a community here that I can share my ideas with, learn from your comments & posts, and share a common interest in wikis, their many uses in organizations, and strategies for effectively growing use.

So, thanks! I hope you keep finding value in this blog, and I’ll keep posting ideas, tips, examples, and thoughts. I’m also working on some exciting new things I’ll be telling you all about very soon, so stay tuned!

BTW, If any of you would like to write a guest post or two, or have an idea for a series (that you’d like to write, or just suggest), let me know!
