When you have a regular readership, it’s important to communicate changes. With the CRT/tanaka acquisition, Marinel Mones and Michael Nelson, and their features Great Blogs of Fire and Buzz Meter will move over to the main company blog effective tomorrow. Their features will augment the senior leadership’s regular entries and provide the industry a regular, valuable look into the changing space of communications. I hope you’ll continue to support them (cheese by Laura Martinez).
That means for the first time in more than two years, the Buzz Bin will become a one man show, similar to Todd Defren’s PR Squared or Toby Bloomberg’s Diva Marketing blog. As such, there’s no way I can commit to a post everyday, but you can count on about three posts a week.
In addition, I may shed a little more light into some of my extracurricular activities as they relate to communications and/or social causes. Don’t expect the mundane personal details, though. There’s a neglected personal blog for that.
One of those projects you can expect to hear about is Live Earth 2009. I’ve accepted a volunteer role as Senior Advisor for Social Media with Live Earth, and look forward to helping this year’s effort become a smashing success.
To make room for this effort, I’ve also tabled the book Social Media for Social Good for the time being. I’m sorry to those who have expressed an interest in this effort. The Live Earth opportunity is a once in a lifetime chance to use my skills for good, and for the cause I care deepest about – the environment. Besides, the front-line experience of architecting and marshalling a social media effort on this kind of scale will provide invaluable insights into a next book. I promise to share my experience and hope!
I’m sorry to hear that you are putting the book on hold. Sounds like it is for good reasons though. I look forward to it though.
Geoff,
You are easily one of the most interesting folks I know, and I’ve known more than a few. Good work, my friend.
Welcome back to the lonely world of one-man blogging. It’s like living under a merciless tyrant! ;)
Good deal Geoff. Look forward to what comes next.
Best,
Rich
Geoff – lots of very interesting and fun changes in store for you (and us too!). Marinel and Michael enjoyed your posts but know you’ll add great value to the agency’s blog. the best to you all!
