Blame it on a friend

As a social media guy for several years now, why is it that only now, at the end of 2008, am I finally doing a blog? Well, I have been conflicted about competition and transparency. During the summer I did a research project and had a conversation with Mark Oehlert (@moehlert on Twitter) who insisted that I have a blog. Period. And my good friend and collegue Peter Goldie (@jpgoldie) also suggested (insisted) that I start writing about all the stuff that he and I talk about, and the things that I find interesting.
