Man-Day Post: The Death of Blogging: Part 2

In Blogging, Man-day by Jensguy

Continued from last weeks post The Death of Blogging.  It’s not about you. One of the things I have noticed is that those who proclaim the death of blogging are really shouting “my blog isn’t doing as well!”  Here is a fun excerpt from Wired Magazine circa 2008 (funny how that feels like such an eternity ago in digital time.) …

That Day I Met The Grumpy Cat

In Blogging by Jen

Several months ago I was invited to be a guest at a special Disney Social Media Moms On The Road Tour slated for Phoenix this summer. To say I was excited about being included in this event is totally understating it. I was over the moon thrilled. Growing up I had only been to Disneyland once, but since becoming an …

Man-day Post: The Death of Blogging- Part 1

In Blogging, Man-day by Jensguy

Have you heard the news?  Blogging is dead.  Every year people march out articles telling us that the era of blogging is finished and the “new thing” is ready to take over.  Generally, they are selling something or just crying for attention.  I especially love it when they make the pronouncement on a blog (very post-modern.) But the claim is …

And, nobody, not anyone anywhere, has purposely set Ask.com as their default homepage. Not even the guys who work there. Just …

When I started my little blog I really believed it would end up being a conversation with me myself and I, peppered with an occasional comment from my Mom and sister. Never in a million years did I imagine that people would actually read my blog and miracle of miracles comment and then come back! I cannot believe in just …

I Got To Say It Was A Good Day

In Blogging by Jen

It’s time to celebrate! Jensguy was able to import ALL of my comments. JENerally Informed no longer looks like a one way conversation involving  me, myself and I. I don’t think I am capable of explaining what it took to accomplish this, but my husband said it closely resembled plunging clogged toilets. Stay Happy! Stay Informed! Love, Jen

Man- day Post: The Last Days of Facebook

In Blogging, Man-day by Jensguy

It’s time for this week’s edition of Man- day from Jensguy. Artist Andy Warhol once stated “Everybody is famous for 15 minutes.”  The same is doubly true of technology.  Every piece of important technology will get superseded eventually.  Companies that have once ruled the world will fall away like the Ottoman Empire. Which brings us to Facebook. It is hard to …
