Confessions of a Lazy Blogger....

Terminal 2 Dublin Airport

I'm just back from a lovely weekend in Ireland. I had the chance to speak at #DotMed13 (of which more later) and also to travel up North to see my family. On Friday night we went out for dinner after the conference and Berci was telling me that hos definition of a lazy blogger was one who didn't post twice a week. By this reckoning I have always been a lazy blogger. Since I've started my blog I've averaged just over 30 posts a year -a few posts a month rather than each week.

I aim to write when I have something to share. So has there been less to share in the past year? No, there has probably been just as much as in the other years but I haven't been giving as much time to doing that as I should have been. So by my definition I have been a lazy blogger and I aim to try and make it up before the end of the year.

Year ends are always good for reflection so I'll try and make sure that I end the year having got many more of the things I have been thinking about and experiencing down on paper in html.

Is blogging dead?

Well, mine has only been started a week and already people are talking about blogging (and all web 2.0) as being passe. I read in comments to this post ( about a medicine and web 2.0 course) that we are already moving on to web 3.0. Someone mentioned it to me in an email and 30 minutes ago my husband mentioned reading something about blogging being dead on the BBC. Well, I don't think it is yet. I think that is ways it's potential is only just starting. I'm also being asked more about Twitter, but I haven't really figured out microblogging yet. My Facebook status updates are going to Friendfeed and I have even joined Twine. Surely enough connection for one day and to ensure that I can keep up with things if blogging is dead.
