Diving Headfirst seems Pretty Scary!

Its late at night, everyones asleep, I didn't have a cup of coffee before bed but I'm wide awake! So after reading 2 chapters of the Tao of Twitter, I decided to deep dive right in and reactivate my Twitter profile.

Which logically left one open space - your blog address. Some pretty awesome Google search engine features later, my dues paid with a 100% profile update on a Google+ account (who the hell uses that anyway?) and suddenly I'm posting my first blog.

Doesn't actually seem that bad really. Sort of quiet and calming, except that the empty page - the old "tabula rasa" - is pretty scary when you first start typing.

Of course, now that I'm into it and the page has some nice Arial font scribbled on it, the fear is subsiding, and I guess the shock of the cold water is wearing off. Hey - this is quite nice. Expressive, fun, and non-commital.

And then some more surfing later, I find this quote....

"Well, there are more writers of blogs right now than there are readers, so that's clearly a vanity phenomenon." John Doerr

Well, thats a bit of a passion killer. But at least I'll read it myself again tomorrow morning, and maybe, I can abuse my CEO privileges and ask the less scary staff at iPulse to read it over and buff my ego with compliments afterwards!

Yes, with the right people following me, and Google+'ing me (whatever the hell that is) and retweeting me and stroking my ego, I could just see myself spending hours writing this stuff so that in 100 years my great, great grandkids can at least explain to their friends that they have a history of insanity in the family that dates back a century, and there will be a digital log to prove it.

Unless the interwebs melt down before then and we have to start again - that will be pretty boring on Google search, since by then it will be super fast but have nothing to search until all the nonsense builds up again. OK. I'm sounding like +Francois van Loggerenberg after a few too many beers and an evening spent circular referencing Wikipedia!

Nothing says go to bed more than blathering, so I guess thats it for my first (and possibly my last) post! But at least I can finish my twitter profile off now, and get that 100% score thats so elusive without a blog address! Woooohooooo!
