What The New Year Brings for Me

January 1, 2009  |  What's New Here

This is something of a shameless self-promotion post, but I hope it’s helpful and interesting.

As the New Year begins, it finds me in a transition, blogging-wise. I’m writing for more places than ever, and I wanted to (only once, I promise) let you know where else you can find me on the Web.

Here’s where I’m currently writing:

The 2.0 Life Obviously. But it’s worth reiterating that this blog is still my first priority, and I’m thrilled to be a part of the community that’s developing here. I can’t wait to continue to watch the community grow, and the conversation that’s happening is a blast for me. I’m looking to expand the blog, to make it bigger and better, and hopefully 2009 will be a big year for The 2.0 Life.

MakeUseOf MakeUseOf was one of the first technology blogs I wrote for, and is one of the sites that inspired me to start blogging. Since (I think) November, I’ve been writing for them as a contributor, and as of today, start as a Staff Writer! That means there will be posts by me on the sit every Tuesday and Thursday. To follow my posts, there’s my author page, or my MUO RSS feed. Here’s my latest post (before today’s):

Make The Web Your Notepad With WebNotes (+100 Invites)

Gearfire Gearfire was, for a long time, a favorite student-productivity blog for me. It’s chock full of great tips for students and non-students about how to make technology work for you, particularly in the world of academia. I read it and loved it, and over the course of the fall have been fortunate enough to get involved with writing for Gearfire. Here’s my latest Gearfire post:

Join a Worldwide Study Group with we.Papers

Lost in Technology Lost in Technology is edited by Kyle Judkins, a new friend of mine and fellow author at Make Use Of. I’ve just started writing for his great blog, which I’m very much enjoying doing. Lost in Tech is full of great content, and I’m excited to be able to add something to it. Here’s my first post for Lost in Tech:

7 Google Chrome Features That Rock

Blogging’s been a lot of fun for me, and I’ve been enormously fortunate to be able to write for all of these different sources. I promise to not become too self-promoting, but I just wanted to point you to all the great blogs that made the terrible mistake of allowing me to write for them.

With the New Year, I hope to make blogging a bigger and more important part of my life. It’s been incredibly rewarding for me, and I can’t wait to see what 2009 has in store!

Happy New Year! What’s your resolution?

  • Congrats on becoming a staff writer! A good way to start off the new year. :) Oddly, I do follow all of the blogs you've mentioned, but for some reason never caught onto the fact that you write for all of them!

    My resolutions are to become better at managing time (I fail at this), reduce the number of blogs I follow (over 200 right now - probably contributes to resolution 1), and to participate actively in everything I do. Happy New Year!
  • @deepikaur- Thanks for the compliments! I'm glad you like all the blogs- hopefully you're not totally sick of my writing yet. Happy New Year!
  • Congrats on becoming a MUO staff writer! I "got promoted" to staff writer for the start of the year as well. I just hope I can keep up with the demanding schedule and still manage to keep up with my own blog as well.
  • @Geeklad- Congrats to you too! Being a staff writer is definitely going to be time-consuming, but I think we can both handle it. Keep up the good work!
  • Thanks for letting us know. I have been a fan of MUO for a while now, but the rest are new to me. I'm sending Gearfire to my brother as he is a student, and I'm taking a look at LostInTechnology for myself right now.
