Strive Notes

Susan Getgood tagged me with the snack time meme that’s making the rounds. Jeremiah Owyang challenged us last week to describe how we respect ‘media snackers’.

Respect them? I am one! Despite the obvious fact that I don’t fit the age profile, I have definitely become prone to snack attacks over the past couple of years. It’s a function of how busy I am. I just don’t have the time to sit down with the Sunday papers anymore. I tend to just to scan blog posts that run more than 500 words. Radio news has become an important part of my life.

So yes, I do respect media snackers. Here’s how…

• I keep most Strive Notes posts short. The stats show that visitors rarely linger longer than two minutes anyway.
• I post only a taster of Tech Talk, my weekly newspaper column, and link to it in case anyone wants to read on.
• I occasionally post summaries, drawing posts of similar themes together.
• I implore fellow Strivers to keep their posts short. Sometimes they do.
• Strive Notes has keywords down the side so people can see at a glance how many posts relate to a subject and with one click they can scan the headlines.

Now I’m a bit late to the game with this meme and I’m not sure who hasn’t already been tagged. But I’m going to try Owen, Leo, Simon and Heather.
