Reading Robert Scoble's post this morning that he's giving up doing his link blog brings home in a very direct way some harsh reality about this blogging caper. It takes up a lot of time! If you run a blog as a labour of love, you will face a crunch sooner or later as you try and juggle your love with the others things you do, professionally and personally, that enable you to earn your crust and actually have a life. That's especially true if what you do with blogging has developed into something where you feel a strong sense of responsibility as others increasingly rely on the information you're offering, as is the case with Robert's link blog. When that crunch then happens, you have a dilemma and something has to give. In Robert's case, he's had to TypePad last July, I've just had no time to post anything other than a couple of quick posts. Rather, my choice was - blog, or pay complete attention to work so that I won't be spending the whole of Easter doing that. So, reality. Now I need to prep for today's podcast show with Shel, and try and finish that pending transcript of the NevilleHobson.com blog which focuses on business communication and technology.
