I was reading a post by Jeff Jarvis today about How personal should a blog be?, I guess with a tear, thought I only met Jeff once, close to a year ago at AlwaysOnNYC, here in New York.  I'm sorry for the loss, and I can relate to the lost.  As Jeff Jarvis quotes in his post about How personal should a blog be?

"..A blog is different. Pardon me for restating the overstated, but it’s a conversation, a conversation among friends. It’s different from publishing. And, of course, it’s personal: one person talking among others. And so privacy has a different impact. That’s a lesson young people teach us often these days in their attitudes toward privacy online: In this conversation, you can’t get something in return if you don’t give something of yourself. And in this case, I don’t mean the return of condolences. I mean the return of experiences and ideas and viewpoints. I can’t get those from you, which I value, if I don’t give something myself first: my experiences, my thoughts, and the context for them. It’s personal, a blog.

That's what I do at Webmetricsguru.com - and pretty much - any place I write my thoughts - I share my life and experiences as a conversation - hopefully, a two way conversation.
