I’ve been meeting a lot of folks that are readers of this Web Strategy blog here at SXSW. It’s overwhelmingly an amazing feeling to know that folks are improving their careers by learning, connecting with others, and finding links to other resources.
Beyond the initial buzz of meeting all of you, I ask nearly everyone “how could the blog improve?” I’ve received a range of responses, including the following:
“Be more transparent about your day job as an Analyst”
“Don’t be afraid to proudly wave your Forrester reports, you’ve worked hard on them”
“Make it easier for me to find information”
“You post too damn much, slow down”
Feel free to leave a suggestion below, style or content suggestions.
The most common comment by the way is “I don’t know how you do it (in regards to the time) and “Do you have a hobby or loved ones?” You’ll have to find me in person to hear my answer. I love meeting readers, please do come up and say hi, it’s really a pleasure for me to get to know you!
examples versus theory are always appreciated. you give great ideas about corporate transparency and how one should talk to customers, but you tend to shy away from telling us which companies are doing that and how.
as much as i’d like your reports for free i know that isn’t going to happen so i will not ask.
I talked to someone and they suggested that I should balance my many ‘heavy’ posts with ‘light’ posts, as it’s overwhelming. Good stuff.

Thanks, one other vocalized that he wanted to see case studies and more examples. Thanks, this is reinforcing.
I’ve been reading your blog for about a year now. As a blogger myself, one of the most valuable things that I learned from you was the concept of “paying yourself first” in terms of being sure to prioritize publishing new content on a regular and consistent basis. Great work and thanks for that valuable (and simple) piece of advice. Keep it up!
