Nowadays, the process is reversed: I blog first, then elaborate my favourite postings into columns. As a blogger I have evolved a definite publishing routine: I don't write about personal topics (glimpses into non-professional life can emerge through Facebook and Twitter). Five years on, I would continue blogging without any readers.

But however many blogs we subscribe to or Twitter feeds we follow, we're always in danger of playing safe, sticking with the people we already know all about. When we know what we don't know it's easy - we simply Google it, check out a forum, or consult our online networks.

When you’re confronted day after day by hundreds, if not thousands, of emails, tweets, status updates, blog posts and text messages, it’s amazing how skilful we become at weeding out the communications that deserve our attention. With emails and blog posts, our messages will never get read if the headlines are not sufficiently enticing.

June's Big Question on the Learning Circuits Blog asks a personal question: How much time do you spend and how do you find the time for reading blogs, twitter, social networks, etc.? Let's start with blogging. I really value my Facebook and Twitter friends, even though there are many of them I have never met.

The April Big Question in the Learning Circuits Blog is simply ‘how do we keep up?’ But if you want to be right up to the minute, all you have to do now is subscribe to the leading blogs, follow the industry experts on Twitter and perhaps attend the occasional webinar.

Practically all the responses are interesting because they are, at least for me, unexpectedly high, even Twitter down at the bottom with 12%. Media sharing at 48%, wikis at 47%, blogs at 45%, social networks at 41%, content ratings at 13%. Respondents were asked which social media technologies they used in their organisations.

In retrospect, Nick realises that it was a mistake to assume that people would engage with an internal network in the same way some would outside the firewall – blogging, cross-linking to each other’s resources and so on. Nick is a board member of the Institute for IT Training and a regular conference speaker.
