This habit tends to help you unwind but somehow there comes a time where this shiny thing fades. Same thing with your thoughts here. Although quite sometime, I can't help but ask how's life after this post?

[...] If you’ve been following along with the Social Times for the past few months, you may have noticed that the volume on this site has gone down somewhat. Why?!? Where did we go?!? Well, there’s clearly still articles thanks to the help of Kristen Nicole who has been doing a killer job.

Nick, I wish I were a more regular reader than I am, because it is post's like this one that I particularly enjoy. They show a maturity and wisdom that comes either from experience, age, or both, but in either case, nicely said. I recently attended one of the social media rockstar events here in DC where one of the speakers made some equally compelling points about real way to build community through blogging. He described it as a process of community rather than broadcasting, which may seem obvious and yet it is sadly overlooked by me and most of my neophytes in the social media space.

In other words, it is about dialogue about learning and advancement of knowledge, rather than showing off how well (or badly) you write simply for the sake of having (your words) "volume". I never actually thought that you were in danger of becoming a "volume" hound, but I'll defer to you on that one. I really always thought you had something interesting and worthwhile to say, which is why I periodically like to come back to you - albeit more on socialtimes than on allfacebook, for me.

I can only look at this as an improvement of an already worthwhile read and social community for learning and feedback and engagement.

I've been reading you since the beginning of AllFacebook. One thing that makes you stand out of the other blogs that you mention is that you are real. You bring a human and honest touch to a blogosphere that is increasingly becoming competitive and ugly.

You are on the right track, Nick. =)
