With my previous hosting provider going under (and taking all my posts with them!) I am forced to find a new home for my occasional scribbles.
Blogger.com it is then.
I confess that I blog much less than I used to; twitter has become my preferred channel but I think I might consciously work to blend the two a little more, offering some comment to the re-tweets and observations I post there.
And the time is right I think. The launch of the ipad and the success of droid suggests that we may be entering what is being called the 'post-browser' era. More on this in later posts.
On a wider point, the economic climate is causing stress and flex in business model provision that is unprecedented. The technological disruptions that have characterised a lot of the recent peripheral discussions about future trends in publishing, learning and libraries - social, mobile, long-tail and democratized
participation could be as nothing compared to the disruption wrought by declining budgets and the shift in purchasing powers from institution to individual.
I think that these will be become my dominant themes over the life of this blog, but who knows. I guess we'll find out in the next few months.
