Why I do not believe in monthly / weekly digest anymore

After well-diserved summer holidays in Indonesia, Indonesian language classes with my wife,  outings with friends taking advantage of the last bits of warm temperature in Paris before next spring, and waves of works smashing away in September and October (argh…), I find my blog slowly but surely….. stagnant.

Enough is enough and time has come to restart. I want to have a broader approach on anything I publish online and reflect on what is left to blog. On top of that, I had to admit I am not blogging for money; I have a full time job (also related to the internet) and also an offline-life (you know, off the screen). I therefore decided to organise my publications into:

  • Twitter. This medium is shorter but faster. I tweet all the interesting stuff I see around, adding a few comments everytime I see an opportunity. I’m there almost 24/7 and interact with followers and other twitterers on interesting subject. I therefore consider it as my main channel to the world!
  • Google Reader. It has its own public URL and it is therefore possible to share interesting things. I usually share a couple of articles per day.
  • Delicious. I use it less and less but it’s always good to bookmark useful websites.
  • Digg. I use it more and more because I consider this tool more effective to bookmark articles. I usually digg and tweet the most interesting articles I see.
  • Friendfeed. This is an aggregator. So you’ll see all my internet trace there. I don’t use it often as a channel, although it is possible to comment and “like” anything posted.

And then comes my blog … I’ll use it only when I want to go deeper into something that catches my attention or in cases where I just don’t find the information I need. So why don’t I believe in monthly and weekly digest anymore then? Well, of course, because Google does it better than me :)

Bon weekend !
