(The MediaCounsel website needs a bit less magic and more content. I do like the staff page, but can see why you are still not up there - not exactly easily maintainable.)

I do think the Trade Me Success Secrets blog has potential, but it’s a long road ahead while the million members slowly discover the joy of reading blogs.

It’s been a whirlwind month, and minor details such as updating my LinkedIn profile took a bit of a back seat. However, duly prompted by your blog entry, I’ve now amended it accordingly and you can check it out at http://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarney.

Anyway, for those who care about such things: I moved two weeks ago to take up the position of Strategic Planning Director at The Media Counsel (see http://wwww.mediacounsel.co.nz for company details, though you won’t find me there yet).

As soon as I arrived at The Media Counsel, I immediately launched a blog, as you do, at http://mediacounsel.wordpress.com, which now has a couple of weeks worth of entries (but no promotion as yet). And yes, a monthly newsletter is also on its way — should be out next week. Those already on my mailing list will receive a copy of this newest edition, at which point you can decide whether to remain subscribed or otherwise.

The Trade Me Success Secrets blog? Well, that has rather slipped into disrepair — I’ve been putting the effort into my TMSS newsletter instead, in and around the other demands on my time. At this point, I’m not sure what I’ll do with that blog — it doesn’t really repay the time and effort involved, and I have a few other projects I want to drive this year.

Thanks for your interest, Lance — ’tis an interesting environment, this blogosphere thingy!
