is how much time I spend on blog reading and writing and how anyone can work that into their already too busy life. Blog reading and writing as part of scanning has been a replacement of other activities that I used to do - reading magazines and books. Of course, a lot of blog posts you skip very quickly.

While I've not been active blogging (is this really my first post since 2015?), the community of bloggers continues to thrive and anything that highlights the amazing content produced by the diverse blogging community is great. Of course, neither was LCB's Big Question - Should All Learning Professionals be Blogging?

I would also suggest that learning skills are dramatically shifting over the past few years and learning professionals are not staying ahead of these shifts. We need to better understand how we can improve our own personal learning. I'm looking for Lifehacker for personal learning.

For people reading my blog for a while, if you had been at my recent ASTD presentation on eLearning 2.0 - you would have heard a much stronger appeal for learning professionals to blog as compared to a gentler push that I was giving last fall. and then posted some of my thoughts in Should All Learning Professionals be Blogging?

It was interesting to listen to beginning portion of the podcast Straight Talk with Bob Phillips where they discuss my article in T&D Learning and Networking with a Blog.

But I guess it's employers, not employees, paying the bills for corporate e-learning consultants, and they wanna hear what they wanna hear. Meanwhile - for the rest of us - the reason we call them personal learning environments is that they are indended to serve our needs, not someone else's. It is an interesting issue.

Found via Joho Blog - Pew has a new report on a national survey of bloggers and blogging ( PDF Link Directly ). Interesting information: Eight percent of internet users, or about 12 million American adults, keep a blog.

Out of the original October 2006: Should All Learning Professionals Be Blogging? I would claim that I know a lot more about both the individuals out there and their perspecitves and also I know something about perception of the marketplace (but its skewed because people participating obviously have a built in bias towards blogs).
