Om Malik com­plains about Web 2.0 fati­gue:

The Web 2.0 con­fe­rence hasn’t even begun, and you can feel the fati­gue. You can almost pre­dict the mar­ke­ting “spin” coming over next few days, that is enough to make you groan.

I can relate. I usually come down with a heavy dose of blog fati­gue every cou­ple of months or so. It usually lasts a week or two. I think it’s nor­mal.
Some­ti­mes all you want from life is a cup of cof­fee and to hold the hand of a cer­tain spe­cial someone.

    Tal­king of hol­ding spe­cial hands, I went away on wed­ding and honey­moon this sum­mer, didn’t touch a feed rea­der or email for a month and came back to… well… let’s just say that I didn’t miss anything that hadn’t kept bub­bling to the sur­face long enough for me not to notice. It’s the fear that you will be left behind, that you’ll miss the joke or the oppor­tu­nity that’s wea­ring. I actually enjoy get­ting away to things like LesBlogs/LeWeb, Online Info conf etc so that I can speak to real peo­ple ins­tead of end­less blog­ging and com­men­ting. Like this ;-)

    I hear ya, Ewan. Which is why if we’ve met in per­son, and hung out at one of these blog con­fabs or whe­re­ver, my chan­ces of lin­king to you inc­rease by at least twenty­fold.
    I simply don;t have the time to blog like I used to. Stormhoek keeps me too busy.… and it’s get­ting busier still.

    I wouldn’t mind Stormhoek kee­ping me busy… glug, glug… ;-) Catch you for some micro food at LeWeb3 this time? Stormhoek really hel­ped bring together the edu­blog­ging com­mu­nity in Scot­land (gro­wing at about 300 per cent every quar­ter now).

    re: spin
    Do you think our res­pon­ses to spin might have something to do with why we keep get­ting more?
    Maybe we deserve it…

    Not much gets me down, I’m too much of an opti­mist (or just plain crazy lol)
    I do grow the teen­siest bit weary at times of strug­gling for expo­sure. The few rea­ders I have are a loyal lot, thank gawd, but it’s a strug­gle to get anyone new to read my blog or book of humor essays. If only I had fairy god­father who did great pro­mo­tions.…

    You can perhaps ima­gine how much this post of yours reso­na­tes with my own state of affairs!
    Let’s drink a glass or two of somthing red soon. Since you are the one busy with the winery… (ah… how does that one go again?)
