Amy, I really admire your self-reflection and disclosure here. I am about to transition into a new role myself, and anticipating that same “letting go and picking up” evolution. It’s exciting, scary, and another part of leading a rich and complex life. All the best to you – and keep having fun.

Hi Amy,
First, let me say that I miss your voice out here in the blogosphere.
But second, let me say that I understand why you have backed away. I’ve done the same and for many of the same reasons. I too feel that echo chamber has grown too loud. And the sense that there’s something “new” and exciting out here has faded.
In fact, the most common theme on my blog in the past year or so has been my increasing sense of Web 2.0 ennui.
Yet still I try — more out of a sense of business obligation than because the idea of blogging still seems important — to post to my blog and Twitter on occasion.
Maybe you’ll decide to do the same. I hope so.
Good luck in your new role.
Paul

Sales? But many “experts” said that organizations wouldn’t need sales people in the new world of social media, where everything about everyone and every company is transparent.

Amy – I appreciate your honesty. Things change, and that’s okay. Hopefully you don’t feel guilty about anything, because you absolutely shouldn’t! Your career shifted, and blogging became less of a focus for you.

I got a lot of value from the content you shared, so thanks for the time you put into sharing your “musings” on PR and social media.

Maybe you’ll find a desire/need to blog again somewhere down the line. I know it may seem like a pain now, but you can transition over to less PR/social media focused content if you decide to move forward with this site – especially because your blog name has nothing to do with either topic.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying your new career focus. I had a sales job during college, and I definitely know what you mean about the rush you get from hitting those numbers!

Comment on Facebook etiquette: To delete, or not to delete? by brett gladstone

I have a similar issue. A former employee who was fired is putting threatening messages to me on her facebook page. HOW DO I GET FACEBOOK TO WARN HER OR REMOVE?

There is no answer on point in the HELP section, given that I am not a “friend” of this woman.

Comment on Social media tactics for recruiting and staffing by amy mengel

Thanks, Scott! Prezi definitely takes a lot more time upfront to plan out presentations, but in the end I think it helps me think through what I actually want to share. Powerpoint makes it too easy to just keep adding slides and not think about the flow of a presentation.
