Okay, here it is “unfiltered” as Lance suggested. He is now branding himself as a “Creative Abrasionist” and tonight I got my share. I ran into Lance at the eLearning Guild’s Annual Gathering tonight and we started a discussion about why he stopped blogging. And then, as an “abraisionist” he immediately challenged me to see who’s blog “sucked more.” Lance killed his blog because he just didn’t feel he was up to the task. He told me that mine was bad because I filter it too much and that I really need to just put stuff out there and see what sticks. We both agreed that Jay Cross’ blog is one of the better one in the “e-Learning” space. But why aren’t there any better ones?
Lance is convinced that “blogs” need to be “unfiltered” and opinionated, which is similar to what my blog mentor says about negativity. I think they can be more focused and don’t need to have postings every day. Who is right?
I can post a ton of stuff if I just link to other blogs and resources, but is that worth anything to people who come to my site? Or is it better for my site to be a corporate website with a number of “articles” that are posted from time to time when I find something useful?
If you are reading this, you came here for a reason, so please click on the comment button and let me know. I’m convinced I can’t suck as much as Lance.
