The Last Blog Post

There's a group effort for bloggers to post their "last post" today. Here's the premise: If you had one last blog post to send out, what would you say? This is based on The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.

I thought about this for two days, and my conclusion is that if I knew I when I was going to die, I would not use one second of my last moments to write a blog post. I would spend as much time as I could with my wife and children-and maybe grandchildren if it's that long from now. And if I could manage it, I would play hockey one last time and score a hat trick.

The funny thing is that if I continue to tweet the way I tweet now, it would take a while for people to realize I was dead. In fact, people might never realize I was dead because all my ghosts (how's that for irony?) are much younger than I am.

Re: Best Internet Marketing Strategy - Hi David, I agree about the Blogosphere. You have a smaller group that Blog, but do so on the premise that they think they should, but have never really considered the purpose of their Blog. Then I think there are a few SEO or Internet Marketing types that see Blogging as just another link building strategy. But the largest group of Bloggers, tend to be people who enjoy writing and discussing their topics of interest. Blogging is good for link building, but the true Blogger is a breed apart from the rest. They want to dialog, to debate, to have feedback and they are very willing to link to other worthwhile conversations that are relevant to their topic. I agree with you. These group of Bloggers obviously are passionate about their writing and together, they create huge conversation trails interactive and travel from Blog to Blog. But the evidence is clear with this group that loves what they write about. With comments enabled on a Blog and having a Blog tuned to a specific purpose you already have the evidence of original Social Media.

EvanCarmichael.com suggestion - Maybe I missed it but I would like to suggest that a Blog be created to support the Forum. The idea is that in the blog you put in snippets of some of the biggest conversations with a 'read more' link to the forum itself. Setting up the Blog and clipping some conversations onto it wouldn't take very long.
Jen's Blog - Spam protection - Jen, I like the Blog and just posted a comment to one of your articles. From my experience you need to implement some sort of SPAM capture tools. i use them on my Blog and it's been a life saver as I'm getting hit by spam atleast 5 times a day. I use Wordpress and they have plugins like Captcha and SPAM Karma installed.
