(Presumably on Twitter.) Just yesterday a co-worker told me he sat in an airport last summer and read my entire blog. He said he got a kick out of it - but I echo your sentiment here that I feel a simultaneous yin/yang of ego-boost and embarrassment. I thought I read somewhere that blogging is dead.

I'd add that I think the difference you've identified between focused and unfocused blogs goes to the question of motivation. My personal blog is a place where I write because I enjoy writing and sharing knowledge about topics I'm interested in. It's not meant as a resume, a personal branding effort or any other kind of career-furthering strategy - though I feel obligated to add after that the Seinfeldian addendum "not that there's anything wrong with that." The more focused blogs, by contrast, do seem to be about personal branding, establishing expertise and/or making some money off the blog. Many great blogs of this ilk are off-shoots of books, consulting gigs or other money-making enterprises. People coming to blogging for the first time ought to think a bit about their motivation and goals as they decide which category they want to inhabit...

I too have on occasion written something that although true as the day is long, may have been a little over the line. Well stated David..
