I Suck at This
Published April 27th, 2007It’s safe to say I’ve been slacking when it comes to blogging. I’ve been so busy designing and developing for everybody else I’ve neglected my own publishing.
Oh well.
If you’re lucky enough to run your own company or are involved in a startup that encourages regular blogging, sure you can set aside some time during a given week to blog about what you’ve been up to. (Read: Get Naked and Rule the World.) As I’ve discovered though, there is a place and a time for secrecy in business, especially when working in the corporate sector. I’ve met a ton of very smart people who are working on seemingly very interesting projects, but the response I get is always the same: “I’d tell you about it, but I’m sworn to secrecy.” Sorry to say I’m in the same boat.
No kidding!
Me too
What’s most irksome is when you’re working for a client who wants you to write blogs, but forbids that you mention anything about the company in the blogs because of his corporate “Secret Culture” mentality. That’s an exercise in frustration.
