I love the way you have framed this up. I tend to move from one to the other well, which often leads me to same the same conclusion: the world is grey.

Found it via Geoff's Tweet.<BR/><BR/>As it happens, this is a subject near and dear to my heart, since I'm a former Boston Globe reporter and current trade editor & blogger.<BR/><BR/>I see the distinction between bloggers and journalists thusly: Bloggers reveal their opinions and perspective up front; they wear them on the outside.

Wonderfully witty. I don't pretend to know everything about social media, but I do know a thing or two about communication ... enough to have the wisdom to know that the more I know, the less I know I know. Ha! <BR/><BR/>@Geoff, Thank you sir. I really appreciate it. Ponder away. Ha! There are trade offs I imagine.

I struggle with this a little, and now say things without linking to the posts I am referring to. It seems to me it's costing me an edginess that I miss.

Of course, there will be days when I post just based off what I know, but I sincerely find your advice much more valuable than what I might find in another blog.
