I started, years ago, commenting on law forums (I guess they'd be called blogs now) and similar things. Only more recently, as my own ideas matured into a phase where they needed deliberate expression and spreading (cf. the <a>TSC blog</a> and my recent involvement with <a>autism</a>) that I moved to creating my own forum/fora. I know that the people interested in enterprise performance management are not necessarily interested in autism; that would be a dilemma that would be hard to solve under old models. The not inconsiderable fact that the tools are so much more accessible today is a huge boon to those who don't want to or can't restructure their lives to become journalists or freelance writers. And that's okay; it's good. John, I think you’re on the right track. I started, years ago, commenting on law forums (I guess they’d be called blogs now) and similar things.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the various choices we make online. Your post has inspired me to consider separating my blog (which covers a few topics quite distinct from one another.) In addition to separating our blogs, we have to choose whether to host a blog, or to comment on a blog by someone whose ideas we respect. Blogs, ideally, are conversations, not broadcasts. If someone else’s blog has a larger audience, and good conversations are spawned, it can be more fruitful than blogging alone. And at the risk of stating the obvious, if one comments anonymously, one can’t build a brand. John Hack Rick,
