No, I don't have a blog. There aren't many things I'd like to write about, and pretty much all of the things I would like to write about have been written about more eloquently by others. There's a lot of subpar and garbage information in this world, especially on the internet, and I'd rather not contribute to the pile if I can help it.

You may want to blog anyway https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/you-should-write-b...

And it is kind of funny that I'm linking to another blog to make my point since "it has been written about have been written about more eloquently by others"

That is a wonderful post. I would also add these points:

- effective async networking with entire internet

- you'll think deeper about the things you care about learning/studying/achieving

- you can express ideas more reliably

- you can open source your knowledge

Truly ironic that the first comment is a request for a blog post.

It is not ironic; it is in direct response to what he wrote. He mentions extensively the importance of building one's brand, and that even he is a victim of that mindset. Therefore I am curious IF he has a blog, and I am curious what that blog contains in case that it exists.

Social media is more important for building a brand than a blog
