It’s all been blogged before
I think everyone that blogs for any length of time gets the deja vu feeling about posts. It could be your own or someone else’s, but there are times when it seems there can’t be anything new to blog about. You’ve been there ‘brought the t-shirt’, blog and tagged that same t-shirt – heck you’ve even taken a picture of it and flickr’d it. If you blog at any regular interval you will at some point get the feeling you are rinse and repeating yourself.
Brand yourself online
Each new social network seems to spur a rash of customised home pages. It’s easy to brand identify yourself throughout the social web and doing so is often overlooked in it’s importance. I see this as part of taking control of your online presence. As a designer this is crucial – you could argue that as anyone that interacts online this is also crucial. You can get your ‘identity’ out there on most sites you use and this is a good thing I think.
Why I won’t be rebooting this May
I have done the reboots for a few years now, this time around I am not rebooting though. I had the choice a few weeks to go for the reboot or to take a different approach and opt out this time. For some reason I did feel a bit of pressure to reboot, it wasn’t from anyone so not sure if anything beyond my own mind. There is a certain something about rebooting, not a ‘rush’ it’s more a community enjoyable thing, whatever reboot site you do it from. Being the community junkie I am I liked that. There was also something about committing myself to a deadline as I only really (bar one) rebooted personal sites. Add to those reasons the ‘buzz’ and feeling in the air and you get a powerful sway to reboot.
