Jack Yan (甄爵恩)Have they taken down the #Cluetrain website or is it just not accessible in NZ any more?
VOI isn't a concrete metric that's going to impress non-marketing executives who only understand spreadsheets, but it's an invaluable concept that every experienced marketer should instinctively understand.
It also aligns with one of my favorite #Cluetrain quotes: "Some of these conversations ended in a sale, but don’t let that fool you. The sale was merely the exclamation mark at the end of the sentence."

"I’d rather preserve my independence, but keeping a roof over my head is more important." @baldur
If blogging IS tied to your professional work, it's arguably even more important to get your house in order now. I always appreciate Baldur's candor, and his personal asides bolster his professional credibility.
He's the anti-Godin, and he proves the internet can be a better place.

"It is why I am returning to this blog, renewing my use of RSS, and actively removing myself from a wide swath of the web...
Personal blogging is a key part to building the presence I want." @broximar
"I want somewhere to exist on the net where people can find my personal record. I don’t expect this blog ever to achieve mass readership; it’s a snapshot of the contents of my own brain, and that is a niche interest." @riotnrrd
Personal Digital Sovereignty
The other day, I wrote that “One of the reasons I write in my blog is for the pleasure of being able to say ‘I told you so’”. More seriously, I want somewhere to exist on the net where people can find my personal record. I don’t expect this blog ever to achieve mass readership; it’s a snapshot of the contents of my own brain, and that is a niche interest.
Flashback: We can have a different web
"If we wanted, each of us could escape those walls and set up our own spaces within the limitless, fertile soil beyond." @molly0xfff

Why keep blogging in 2025?
If you've known me for a while, you know a #Cluetrain quote is coming!
