Dear readers,
First, I’d like to say thanks to all of you who have read and commented and shared this blog over the past 6 years or so. Despite the infrequent posts, it’s been a huge source of pleasure for all of us to be able to share helpful info (and a few personal rants) with the flash community.
For a while now we’ve been living in a world where a lot of what we cover on a blog like this is competing with Twitter, Google+, StackExchange, screencasts, Tumblr, Facebook, &c. for the reader’s attention. I often wonder if blogs are even relevant anymore. I certainly struggle to keep up with everything and blogs are usually at the bottom of the list.
Furthermore, the three of us, Mims, Roger, and Caleb have changed a lot in the last couple of years. For example, only one of us lives in NYC, and none of us work exclusively on the flash platform anymore.
We’re not necessarily going to stop posting, however, it may be time to change up the format. I would really appreciate some feedback on what and how you’d like to hear from us in the future. If you’ve got a blog or twitter account that you think is reaching people, tell us how! Comment, email, tweet me, or whatever.
Some things I’ve been thinking about…
- Should we keep blogging or spend that time being more active on Twitter? How do Twitter and blogs work together?
- How do we keep it fun and frequent?
- What posts do people like the best? Who’s visiting the site?
- Should we stay Flash-focused or go more broad with programming and interactive design in general?
- Does it work better having multiple authors or is it confusing? Maybe three more specialized blogs would be better.
Thank you!
