Blog Post Frequency, Learning and Relevance

I have been struggling with what to post lately. Not due to lack of thought, but lack of time and selecting the most interesting topic area.

On one hand I have 5 different topics I think are interesting, but not necessarily in line with my typical topics. On the other hand every time I invest time exploring the blogging world, I find so many interesting postings to read I run out of time to create my own.

The interesting dilemma for a new blogger is that these two areas can create "writers block". I have two questions to pose to the more experienced bloggers:

1. Does your blog need to stay on topic?
2. How do you balance your time between listening and talking?

On question #2 above, I find a great deal of value in participating on other people's blogs. How do you share your collective thought process on your blog? Here are three recent examples of areas I have participated in:

A discussion with Shel regarding blogging adoption in other parts of the world, specifically Hawaii
A NYC VC's posting on the debate of the Long Tail
A suggestion to Scoble to do a video on "how to blog".

I have also invested many hours in reading blogs and listening to podcast to learn more about the collective conversation. It's diverse, and there is so much out there you could spend days/weeks/months absorbing information. Some of my recent favorites include:

The call to action for all marketing professionals written by Peter Blackshaw, Leading Change - Now!
A posting by Ann Handley on What's the Biggest Lie About Blogging?
And a podcast on Internet business mastery that begins with an education on the issue of net neutrality. (Anyone interested in keeping the Internet as an open platform available to everyone should learn more about this).

My point is that there is so much great content that many times I would rather listen than type. This leads to less frequent postings, but more value to me.

The other area I outlined in my opening paragraph is relevance. Given that my postings are mostly about the changing marketing world, I hesitate to share my thoughts on wine tasting, child rearing, team dynamics or consumer experiences. While I've seen some of the masters do it well such as this extremely random posting by Max Kalhoff regarding dry ice, I haven't reached the comfort level of putting these thoughts on the Internet and intermingling it with the otherwise marketing and blogging centric conversation. I suspect this comes with time.

I know some of my friends and colleagues that read my blog haven't ventured into blogging yet. Hopefully my journey gives you a glimpse at what's available and encourages you to get involved in the conversation!

Yeah, right. The funny thing is that I've heard that some gamers give wow gold for free away. But then I've read this article about free wow gold. It's amazing what people are doing for money.

The Galactic Senate gives players a stronger voice in the game and helps strengthen the dedicated Star Wars Galaxies community.

A Galactic Senator represents to the best of his or her ability the segment of community for which he or she has been appointed. It is the responsibility of the Senator to take into account the interests and sentiments of those represented in an unbiased and objective capacity, serving as advocate, leader, and unified voice for the players.


Appointment

Candidates for the Galactic Senate may be nominated by any player in good standing, and self-nominations are also considered. Clarity and influence are among the top desired traits for a Senator to possess. An election commission comprising of the Star Wars Galaxies Community Team will appoint the title of Senator to players from the pool of nominations. Once appointed, a Senator will serve a 6 month term at which point the position will be open to new candidates.


Openings

The following Galactic Senator positions are now open:

Beast Master Senator
Bounty Hunter Senator
Domestic Goods Trader Senator
Entertainer Senator
Events Senator
Game Play Senator
Imperial Senator
Jedi Senator
Munitions Trader Senator
Neutral Senator
New Players Senator
Officer Senator
Pilot Senator
Player Associations Senator
Politician Senator
Role-Play Senator
Smuggler Senator
Structures Trader Senator
Testing Senator

Note: The Engineering Trader, Spy, and Medic senate seats are not open until March.

Existing senators can serve consecutive terms on the following conditions:

The senator must nominate himself/herself for the desired position
At least three other players must nominate the senator for the same position
Nomination does not automatically guarantee a consecutive term; the existing senator must also be chosen by the SWG community team

Sending in Your Nomination

Send us an email at senator@soe.sony.com to nominate yourself or a fellow player for a senate position. In your email, be sure to include:

Position Nominated For:
Character Name of Nominee:
Forum Name of Nominee:
Real Name of Nominee (if known):
Server of Nominee:
Player Association of Nominee:
E-mail Address of Nominee (if known):
Reason for Nomination:

Remember, players are not chosen based on the amount of nominations! You are not voting for a senator, but instead telling the team why that person should be chosen.

Please visit this page for more information about the Galactic Senate.
