A Decade of Change

old_mac512Though I am tempted to launch into my decennial argument that the decade doesn’t end until we reach 2011, everyone is already starting to put out retrospective lists of the current decade.

By way of Michael Silence over at No Silence Here, I have been reviewing the Webby Awards’ list of the ten most influential internet moments of the decade. Mostly, it got me thinking about how the work I do has been affected by the ongoing evolution in digital communications and social media.iphone

I’d like to write a more in-depth blog post article about this topic, but I need your help. Why not share some thoughts with me on how the internet has changed the way you work (or even your occupation entirely) in the past ten years in the comments section. Feeling shy? Feel free to send me a note to blog (at) shanerhyne.com

I’ve been negligent in thanking some blogging friends for giving my new blogging project a shout out on their blogs and elsewhere, so allow me to rectify that situation now.

First, thanks to Michael Silence over at the Knoxville News Sentinel where he blogs at No Silence Here (and allows me to contribute as my schedule allows). He included a nice mention of the blog in his Sunday column in the paper’s printed edition earlier this month.

Also, R. Neal– one of East Tennessee’s great bloggers and host of Knoxviews.com, shared nice words about my blog (and Rikki Hall‘s wonderful new blog, too) and even included it in his live-stream in the sidebar.

Michael and R. Neal are two of the leading lights in blogging in East Tennessee (and I’d put them up there with high national rankings, too). In addition to providing me with entertaining reading for several years, they’ve also been actively encouraging me to get back to blogging full time. Of course, this all puts some amount of pressure on me to make sure I work hard to continue to earn their recommendations. Thanks for the support, guys!
