Inspiration: Why Am I Doing This?

There are what often feels like a million great blogs about marketing, SEO, social media, the interwebs and the various topics I am writing about. What can I possibly add to the conversation?

While I have many years of marketing communications experience behind me, I am learning Social Media and SEO as I go. Honestly, I think that's is still the case for a lot of people, at this moment in time, 4/25/08. I'm not particularly thrilled with the work our outsourced SEO firm is doing. It's fair, not excellent. A lot of link building, but little else. The links aren't on industry-related sites. The article content- don't get me started. I think I can probably do better, time permitting. I am passionate person, which extends into my work.

My Dad is on Facebook is my opportunity to learn the best way I know-- by doing. To stretch my writing skills above and beyond corporate jargon and press releases. To write about topics other than work. To share amusing things with my family and friends, and maybe even some strangers. To finally get the code correct for the stumble upon and del.icio.us icons at the bottom of my posts in Blogger, which is annoying me. To grow, stretch my legs, stumble and pick myself back up.
