I enjoyed the finale and look forward to the new site. I concur with your feelings towards the online group that we seem to belong to and are expected to ‘talk to’. For 2007, my focus is on my customers and what they want to hear about. If it is of interest to others, great, if not, so what.

He/she that pays my mortgage gets my attention, anyone else is welcome but not sought after.

Have a great 2007.

Change? I think a good communicator can adapt their tone, style and voice to most effectively engage his or her audience, and do so without loosing the qualities that makes that communicator interesting and distinct. Do not confuse my playing here - in my personal blog space/laboratory - with an ability to talk with an audience in a way, and on topics, that are of most interest to them - not me.

No doubt, you will complain, “Oh! he has become so dull, so bland, so predictable, so corporate.” But then I will be writing to please someone else, and not you or those who you describe - elsewhere - as “the lowest common denominator.” Anyway, you know I value your perspective and criticism, even if I don’t always agree with it!

Happy New Year, Tiger. Keep blogging.

P.S. For those of you who like the Recruiting Animal find my writing a painful read, no matter. One of the reasons my posts are peppered with links is so that you can find something better that talks directly to, or references somehow, the topic at hand. It is also a place for me to keep my research and reference docs organized. More often than not, there is something more useful to print and keep behind every link than my post itself. That’s a given.

Enjoy, or not, as the case may be.
