Pattern Recognition and The Need to Break the Pattern
Posted in I have had a few questions via phone and e-mail about my last post….what was I thinking?
There are a number of ways to look at it, but aside from a true exercise in humility, the point(s) I wanted to get across are three-fold.
A) Blogs tend to run together, and most people really don’t have the time to read it all and why we see micro-chunking taking hold. Sometimes just “breaking the pattern”- with a picture, a sound clip, a video, or text can do this.
B) Blogs are allowed to be creative. While there are certainly “bad practices” you should feel free to take creative reign with what you write. Break out of the mold, be different, and do something unconventional. Back to the attention formula again.
C) Hopefully an entry will make someone stop and think, and if you are fortunate- reach out by e-mail (wporter@gmail.com by the way), a comment, a track back, or some other signal. These connections are what make blogging, twittering, and other forms of communication worthwhile. The relationships you build are the basis for it all.
Sure there is more…but I am trying to be brief. For obvious reasons….
