Ok, maybe I'm just naive. There are topics I avoid on this blog - but I can't say that I agonize over the content. Sam Gentile is in a different place:
Which brings me back to the meaning of the blog. The problem with getting very popular in blogland is that there becomes less and less you can say. Every word has to be evaluated on what it might say to people, say to clients of mine, how will it affect relationships, is it meaty enough, and on and on. You end up virtually agonizing over every post and then there are so many things you can't blog on.
I don't know. I guess I can understand the worry, but hey - I write what I write, and it's what I feel like writing. If other people are interested, that's great - but I'm not so worried about this from a popularity contest standpoint. Now admittedly, I'm not an independent consultant - Sam is, and that does impact his choices in ways that don't (at this point, at least) impact me. If people disagree with me - and they do - there are comments and email. I guess I just have to be me :)
