Anton Peck has started something really great called Project 52 where people are committing to 1 post a week on their blog. As I’ve already written I’ve remade on this blog my commitment and Project 52 just fits that perfectly along with being a great movement to see the return of content blog posts.
What really gives me the warm fuzzies is how this thing has spiralled from the seed Anton placed on the web. I’ve been a member now for a few weeks and it’s now becoming a little ‘voice’ encouraging me to meet that weekly deadline and blog about something. I’d like to really thank Anton for doing this as it’s great to see blogging coming back when so many of us have fallen by the sideline victims of Twitter and Tumblr instant gratification.
There is a phrase that there is safety in numbers and Project 52 to me is in part about this. I love how the web can become a catalyst for shared experiences despite the faceless remote nature of it as a technology. People that have never physically met can link up and work towards a goal. To me adventures like Project 52 allow for this. I look forward to being part of it and encourage others to sign up and get involved. There is something about a blog post that other more instant services can’t fulfill and if Project 52 sees a return to this then it can only be a good thing in my book.
