Marathon
When we started with Cool Blogs we had some conference calls with the people that would start to blog on Cool Blogs, I still remember the comment from Martin (Buckley) about the fact that blogging isn't a sprint, it's a Marathon. He had been blogging on his evilzenscientist blog for quit some time and as such he was one of the more experienced bloggers (together with Ted) from the people that started to post on Cool Blogs.
Now that we run Cool Blogs for half a year I have to agree, blogging is like a Marathon, you have to get into the rhythm of posting with a certain frequency. Sometimes it's easy to find a subject for a post, sometimes it's a little more difficult, but once you get the right rhythm it becomes more easy to find a topic to write about.
OK, so what should I write about this time, the Formula One race today? Ferrari did a great job at the race in Monza (Italy), it's unfortunate to hear that Michael Shumacher will stop racing at the end of this season, three more races to go. You might think this is not too much Novell related, well I'm not sure about that, Linux has become more and more important in the high-power systems that are used to calculate the aerodynamics on a Formula One car. Nah, Americans don't know anything about Formula One, let's find something else to talk about ;-)
Maybe I could write about the fact that we are finalizing the Agenda for our ZENworks conference in Munich and that the free registration has been extended. Nah, we are still working on some interesting last additions so let's talk about the agenda somewhere later this week.
I could mention that we released the ZENworks 6.5 SP2 IR1 as beta patch (I didn't create the name for this, don't blame me). Nah, the real freaks will have seen that already on the "New this week" page.
I could mention that the general support for ZENworks 7 seems to be extended and will go on until the end of August 2010 (and extended support will be up to 2012). Hmm, maybe I should keep that for one of the Product Managers to talk about.
OK, so nothing to blog about today :-), can you think of something?

So those of us who aren't into Marathons what do we do? I'm thinking you're thinking we always want to shoot a homerun, a three pointer, Hit a Six, or a hole in one, ( Depending on what background you're from.) everytime we blog. Are you saying we need more endurance? grin. Are you telling us we need to talk more about the run we made to first base the other day, or the single I took, or the Ten I scored on a Par three?
A question for the philosphers amongst us: Do Blogs unite us or define us more as individuals?

Well, I think that there needs to be a certain volume of posts, if there isn't enough throughput on a blog it becomes less interesting to follow what happens and you'll see that less people will read the blog. If you hit a hole in one without anyone looking at it, it isn't that much fun isn't it?

Regular is better. To counter that - quality is better than quantity.
I find that regular posts; on something relevant is best.
