Speaking of The Independent, I asked Indy Digital editor Charles Arthur, why he doesn't blog. His response:
"I've considered it often but it would be so sporadic that I
don't know whether it would be worth the effort. I might reconsider next
year; the attractions are, well, attractive, always providing one can draw
stuff in that's interesting.
"There's also the issue of "shouldn't you be working?" if one is
putting stuff on a blog while at work. And as for doing it at home...
there's "shouldn't you be eating/playing with the kids/doing something
else?"
" I do think that it helps to have radio experience like Doc [Searls] has;
you're effectively used to talking to the uncaring ether, confident that
it's listening.
" But as I said, I'm considering. As much as anything it's a question
of which is the better software - Radio or, uh, the other stuff? I have got
a Weblog book sitting in front of me. Perhaps I'll read it over Xmas while
the kids play with the cheap cardboard boxes in which their fabulously
pricey gifts came."
Sometimes, you just have to leap...
