This is the beginning! or is it the end?
I have followed the blogging phenomena for several years now ? always resisting to the temptation (not really) of telling the world about my thoughts.
I guess I never felt that it was important. This past weekend I went to Austin, TX to the South by Southwest Festival and Conference (SXSW), together with David Galbraith, Simon Perry, and my brother Alexander Korte.
At 11 am Simon was hacking away on his laptop writing about SxSW and he asked me for my URL *&%*&^@@ to add the link to a post — well, I did register my name Thomas Korte (http://www.thomaskorte.com) a long time ago, I even installed MT, but never saw a reason to post, write, publish or share my thoughts! Up until that very moment where I realized that a personal site, some kind of information about me on the web, is part of a new asymetric way of communication.
How long did you resist to a cell-phone or to an email address?
Well – I had a revelation that Blogs, or other personal information snippets published online, are going to be as important as a phone or an email address.
So here I am – resisting for over 3 years, reading other people’s blogs, and now doing the same.
