E-mail correspondence from today and yesterday:
Pseudonymous former reader of my old blog, The Hackensack:
i dont know about you- but i found the old blog a million times better
cleaner, more interesting, just better …
perhaps your traffic and usage data suggests otherwise but thats my opinion
Me:
Better than what, Shadow Stocks?
Pseudonymous former reader of my old blog:
yes shadow sucks has no interest for me- clunky format, too much needed w passwords and the like
the old blog was great
stocks
musings
economy
anecdotes
observations
all in a clean format
i used to visit each day- and recommend it to friends
this one, i never visit, and feel no pull to do so- nor would ever recommend to friends
Me:
Shadow Stocks doesn’t require any passwords. Are you sure you’re not confusing it with Short Screen?
Former reader:
yes that is possible, if not probable
but the pt is- u should go back to the old format, and augment it w these satellite sites-
the old format was far better, far more interesting, far cleaner, and something that id actually want to check into every day- regardless of where i was located in the world at the time
On Shadow Stocks, I’ve been blogging about investing as frequently or more than I did on the old blog, and i think the look of these blogs is cleaner than that of my old Blogger blog, but my pseudonymous reader has a point about Steam Catapult. I have been slacking here. Partly that might be due to the different dynamic of posting under my own name here, while working on building a business. As I mentioned in a previous post,
My original idea was for this blog to have a tighter focus on business and entrepreneurship than the last one — and it probably will have that — but there’s a limited number of intelligent, original, or useful things I can say on those topics at the moment. I’d like to talk more about things I’m working on now, and I will, but some of that necessarily will have to wait until those things are in the rear view mirror.
That’s a partial explanation. It’s not an excuse though. I’m not as good as I once was. I need to step up my game with the blogging here. In the meantime, you can follow my comments on other Disqus-enabled blogs here. And you can watch this Toby Keith video:
