The Web is littered with abandoned career blogs
As we’ve conducted research for a little project that we’re not quite yet ready to officially announce (still working out a few minor tweaks), we have been simply amazed by the number of career and leadership blogs we’ve stumbled upon that have been abandoned by their authors. What happened to that can-do spirit? That good old American sticktoitiveness?
Fortunately, we still have great bloggers like Penelope Trunk , Eve Tahmincioglu and Joel Cheesman who are working hard to deliver great content and engage their readers.
I think the greatest name for a “career” blog I’ve come across, though, is this one by Earl Boykins: emo + beer = busted career. We’re sure it’s not that bad, Earl.
Sanjay…first, thanks for including my blog WWDS on your list. I am honored. To the point above, I think these career bloggers started out with great intentions but probably fizzled out when they found it difficult to continue posting in interesting and novel ways. I have seen this before with customer newsletters in pre blog days…it starts off with the best of thinking but no one stops to consider EVERY DAY?
Again, nice work on providing a list of HR related bloggers, career or otherwise,
