I’ve decided I need a new project. In seeing my site traffic rise I realized that all the people coming are looking at old content.
So, I’m making a commitment to post 2x a day for the next year. Let’s see how that goes and if I drive people away with (as corinne says) “you stream of consciousness writing.”
OK… I know anyone new looking at my blog is going to automatically write off what I have to say after this but I was reading Scot Wingo’s blog in my feed reader and saw this comment.
It was an honor to have eBay’s new blogger, Richard Brewer-hay, cover Stephanie’s talk in the first days of the new eBay Ink blog - Richard welcome to the conversation (FYI this blogging stuff works from NC as well as San Jose! and ChannelAdvisor is one word.)
A man after my own heart. We spend so much time building brands and people who are supposed to know the space (well, this guy does have a job at eBay now and eBay owns a piece of CA) don’t bother getting the small things right.
Why am I so focused on this? After eBay acquired FairMarket I worked for eBay from 9/4/2003 to 12/31/2007 and still I had people ask me, “We bought FreeMarkets?” Sigh. “No. eBay bought FairMarket and we’ve been here making money for you for 4 years.”
Anyway… maybe this is a sign that the blogger dude is really uncensored and free to say what he wants! Yeah… we’ll see but I doubt it. eBay does not have a culture of questioning anything from the top down. Actually… from the middle down is pretty sacred too. The joy of being a resource!
PS- why isn’t this blog on an eBay domain? Stupid miss in terms of SEO value.
So, I finally got around to sending out the “I have a new job!” email. Alice has been after me to let folks know but it has been crazy getting up to speed and any free time I’ve had has gone to the commute, dinner with friends, catching up with Alice, or just plain catching up on sleep.
Thinking I’m all funny I went ahead and included a link to this blog only to realize I haven’t added any posts (except for my tv musings) recently. Good plan! So… in the next day or so I’m going to add a few posts I’ve been sitting on in anticipation of having a few free minutes.
