Heywood: Thanks for your comment. Why did you decide to retire from estonianwifi? Is it because you no longer live in Estonia and you have moved and living a new life?

Or was it time for a completely new initiative which included different topic coverage and collaboration with friends? How is collaborative blogging different from indivual blogging? Is it easier to keep content “fresh” because you know there are eight other people who post things?

I also run a collaborative blog with friends about New Media but I sometimes have the urge to post a post on both the collaborative blog AND my personal blog. I use this personal blog as a kind of research diary which causes cross posting sometimes.

Herb: I share your thoughts on not posting when there is no feeling of added value. I personally don’t post things that have been posted before unless they are of direct value to what I have to say.

I try not to think about the English grammar and spelling too much. Writing in a different language than your first language is always hard and I think people will understand that framing your thoughts in a second language is more difficult than when you can write them down in your native tongue.

Maybe blogging in your native language is an idea? Or why did you decide to blog in English in the first place?

I decided to write my thesis and blog in English because the amount of people who can read my things and discuss them is so much larger than when I would write in Dutch.
