One of my first inspirations to start blogging myself was Russell Beattie with his personal branded blog about anything mobile. He always wrote his original views and opinions down in a fresh no-nonsense style, yet always passionate about the cell phone and its development.
Saturday he announced he puts his weblog to sleep:
“Four years! It’ll be weird to *not* be a blogger any more, I have to admit, but despite how good blogging has been for my life, it’s time to move on.”
The volume of what he produced is for the least impressive, no doubt hard work has gone into his blog, this work that took him to his current mobile evangelist job at Yahoo! From there I knew the blog writing would suffer from that, but still he managed to keep up and be faithfull to his style, until last Saturday when he decided to quit blogging.
I can understand why, it takes a lot of time time and energy to keep an original ‘voice’ on your blog, difficult to sustain the same quality on a regular basis over and over again, not to mention you have to combine this with a job and a family.
Well with this post, I just wanted to thank you Russ for everything you have given to the community. I’m sure you’ll be back somewhere, somehow…
