I know, I know – you’re thinking “Nav, your entire blog is just self-indulgent, masturbatory nonsense”. But, dear reader, I’ll tell you why you’re wrong… because fuck you, that’s why! Ahem. Excuse me.
So, like everyone who does anything, lately I’ve been thinking about that thing I do: blogging, writing, twittering etc. I’ve recently found myself in the odd position of, on the one hand, really enjoying blogging for the first time in a while and, on the other, sorta’ frustrated that after 2 or 3 years of this I can’t seem to develop a larger audience.
So I just thought this post by Mark Evans, popular Canadian tech blogger (and co-founder of the Mesh Conference) was interesting and far less annoying than it’s title – “11 Reasons Why Blogs Still Matter” – would suggest. It’s neat and worth a quick skim for anyone who, like me, has occasionally found themselves wondering why the hell they keep doing this.
(P.S. No, don’t worry. You’re not about to be hit with a bunch of links on ‘the future of blogging’. I said I was feeling reflective – not stupid.)
