It has been quiet for the last month. I have been "auditioning" for Molblog (Dutch only) over the last month. Molblog is the Marketing On Line weblog of the Dutch journal on marketing. It is also the most popular blog in the Netherlands.
Molblog is different from ThinkingSparks as the latter will try to give food for thought of just present my questions on certain topics. Molblog has much more of a signaling function of what is going on in marketing at the moment. Interestingly enough my posts that come close to what I do on ThinkingSparks generate more comments then when I post current marketing happenings.
My auditioning was rewarded with a spot on the molblog team. :-) It means I have to divide my time between those two blogs. So after this month long break, I will be back.
Congrats! I'm not sure I read them all, but I really enjoyed your postings there. Especially the one about the sauna read like a good column!
The fact that the ones that come closest to your personal preference/style are appreciated most (or at least commented to most) is merely a sign that it is what you do best, isn't it?
And maybe might help you to focus on a more limited amount of blogs to follow ;-))

Interesting -- the two types of writing. One gets Comments and the other does not. When I read ThinkingSparks I want to interact with you -- your voice comes through in your writing. I see your picture and want to respond to you.
On the other hand, some writing, especially technical writing, is simply consumed by the reader. The author’s voice is an interruption to the consumption of knowledge.
I enjoy your blog -- you are now in my reader.
