Blog Birthdays And Turning Two

Blog Birthdays

This past Wednesday was Pat’s third anniversary party for Blankanvas (we all need to have blog birthday parties) and needless to say, the woman knows how to throw a party!

I also belatedly realised that January is this blog’s birthday and looking back on my very first “serious” blog post that was posted the day of my first Digital Media Across Asia class and a lot of that wonder and excitement is still there. The unfortunate thing is there hasn’t been a whole lot of opportunities for me to put what I know into practice. That’s something I really hope to change in 2010.

I think 2009 was a great year for the blog. The focus on local content has been working out well and although my blogging frequency has gone down, I’m still pretty happy with the content I’m putting out. I’m very much experimenting with my writing style (you might have noticed some of my more recent posts are much shorter than usual) and it’s something I’ll continue to be doing in 2010.

So embarking on the third year of the blog, I really hope by the time it “turns three” there’ll be a lot more real world case studies and organisations that can be featured here (and in many company’s case study books) as successes we can take into 2011.

A Look At 2009

This year, I can foresee my blog being occupied by two new things:

1) Digital Media Across Asia
As I’m taking over the teaching assistant role from Amelia this term to work with Michael, I can see a constant flow of inspiration arising from the class, and it will be nice to get back to working on the Digital Media Across Asia wiki again.

2) Highlighting local social media examples in business
As we’re gradually seeing more and more developments in the local social media scene, I’d like to invite anyone who wants an avenue to tell their story, to tell it here. I’d like to go beyond the usual blogger outreach story and hopefully be able to interact with a company who’s started a blog or twitter account for business purposes.

What else would you like to see on Unique Frequency in 2009?
