Just thought I’d mention the excellent presentation “10 Ways to a Killer Blog” by Robert and Maryam Scoble at Thursday’s Online Information Conference in London (30th Nov). Robert is best known for his ‘tech geek’ blog Scobleizer and co-author of the book Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers. I only found out about the presentation on the morning I left for the conference via an email from the conference organisers, which might explain why there weren’t many people there. Still, those that did pick up the news were treated to an informative and informal double-act from Robert and Maryam who were happy to share their respective experiences in creating compelling blogs. Those few fortunate enough to be present went away with some very valuable tips – my thanks to Richard and Maryam.
I’m a life-long learner with an insatiable curiosity about life. I love travel, good food, and good company. I’m happy to share what I know with others….even the interesting stuff! My outlook on life is pretty well captured in this quote from a book about the legend of King Arthur:
“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King
So much to learn, so little time!
