Welcome to Everone, New and Old Alike. Thanks For Being Here.

From time to time, as new readers come onboard, it seems worthwhile to send out a quick "hello, how are you?" message to let people know you appreciate their participation and readership. And, I don't want to forget old readers either...you're all appreciated immensely. Yesterday I reflected on 10 years as an entrepreneur, and today my reflections continue. This blog has been live since January 2006, which is certainly not long, but in "blog years" things are accelerated. It's evolved considerably over time, mostly due to you, the reader, helping me take it where it should go. Topic suggestions, ideas, feedback...all of these things have guided the blog along the way. And my own research and thoughts as well, have evolved the blog beyond where I thought it might go. At times it's gotten a bit more serious than I had originally intended, but hopefully my crackling wit remains true enough to my original intentions, since IGotNewsForYou itself is all about fun, I wanted this place to be fun too. No dry reads. No dull management-speak.Business insights wrapped in a pita of playfulness. One thing I certainly underestimated was the volume of learning that can be accomplished through blogging. In many ways blogging necessitates learning. If you're going to put yourself out there and really get involved with the greater community of bloggers in your fields of interest, you're going to have to start learning big-time. If you're a new reader, or an old reader trying to figure out, "what's he rambling on about?" I'll sum up here: The IGotNewsForYou blog is about my experiences and knowledge of entrepreneurship, business, marketing and technology with a heavy dose of humor thrown in. I really heavily on outside inspiration, but want to make sure this is my voice; hopefully original, funny and worthwhile. Thank you for being here, please stick around and help me become more and more a part of the community of bloggers. (Technorati Tags: , , , , , )

I thought it was about getting rich...
 
Well getting rich doesn't hurt. But apparently you have to join this "community" thing first...or so they keep telling me.

Apparently, you can't just say, "Buy my product you bastard!" and they respond. Too bad eh?

*grin*

Thanks for sticking around Tommy.
 
I'd like to know the thought process that went behind using that picture on your post. It somehow makes perfect sense, though. :)

Paul
 
Hey Ben,

You are a big part of the Community, after all you brought us Basil.

Now, if you would stop calling me READER and call me FRIEND (or fiend)!!! ;-)

Joe
 
Hey Paul -- I wanted something that said, "Come along for the ride, hop in and let's go for a spin."

A Coolio song popped into my head, "Fantastic Voyage." (Or at least half a lyric that references coming along on a voyage...)
 
Joe - you're right. Reader is the wrong word. I think each type I've typed it I wanted to change it to something better.

Friend it is.
