For Whom the Bell Tolls
No, not another post about the currently beleaguered Chief Jobster Jason Goldberg, or a commentary on his recent opacity, unless you want it to be, of course. I write – metaphysically – to please you I hope although on this blog, as previously reported, I’m almost done here.

Well, I’ve had fun these past few days, blogging here more than in recent weeks. At least, so it would seem on the surface. In reality I have been busy putting together a great many more posts for the launch of a new and spiffy “blog-enabled” corporate website, going live sometime late January, early February perhaps. My only fear is that by then there will be a general armistice in the war for talent, or Dave Lefkow will have left Jobster for Taleo or some other industry brain drainer, or they’ll be giving away credits for recruiter training on the back of specially marked boxes of Special K – or some such nonsense – like my postings here, obviously dated.
Dong…
Looking back on my posts here I see my tagline “A Contrarian View of Talent Management” hardly describes the bulk of my content since posting here in June. Rather, my work on the whole seems much more introspective and/or recruiting blog-centric. A little light in the talent management department compared to some. So I have changed the tagline to, “A Contrarian View of Life in the Recruitosphere” which seemed to be the overall tenor, regardless. I will be blogging about talent management and related topics on the new corporate blog – Bells and Whistles – and looking forward to shamelessly commercializing my efforts.

I am planning to write a personal blog focusing on stuff that interests me in business and in blogging and in general, abandoning the need for this impossible love-hate relationship with the Recruitosphere or an online persona that needs such frequent watering.
Dong..
When I get going, if you find what I post there interesting, I might ask that you please keep it to yourself. First, I am not nearly smart enough to develop threads about how, for example, the augmented social network (PDF) is finally transcending the perceived or real limitations of monetization and walled gardens and trust and persistent identity, evolving to realize it’s potential. Phew. Nor will I have much time to become embroiled in lengthy exchanges, baring my nincompoopery for Mother to see. I’ll be too busy with my other duties. Second, I wouldn’t want everyone to know what I was researching as I sought to develop some competitive advantage for my business, now would I?
So, for who does the bell toll? Jason Goldberg, it tolls for thee.
