It contains periodic musings on Integrated Marketing, Social Media, Digital Marketing, Mobile, and the Tech Lifestyle. During the past eight years I posted almost monthly.<\/p>\n<p>The face of blogging changed greatly over that period. Beginning in 2015, when LinkedIn&#8217;s Pulse was opened to ordinary citizens, I began cross-posting my professionally oriented posts there. That has provided good results from a business perspective. Similarly, I began cross-posting cultural and personal work to Medium. Some of the amplification there has taken my readership far beyond what I could expect from a self-hosted blog. However, a copy of everything is here, where it will never go away.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided it&#8217;s time for a hiatus to recharge my creative juices and to determine what I&#8217;m writing about and where the content will be placed.
