Rather unfortunate because this past year has been filled with so many amazingly important experiences, learnings, people, decisions, milestones, and so on. But when you put everything you have into starting a company, you have to drop some things, and one of the things that I’m dropping for now is my old website. I wanted to put up a website that would automatically update itself with Twitter posts etc, since that doesn’t require me to pay extra attention to it. It also had to be a basic brochure site with some more professional sound bytes about me. I learned about the need to have readily available sound bytes after The Economist explored around my old site and reported that I was a “self-described ‘road warrior turned activist’” although that phrase was their own invention.

Anyway, I waited for a long time for Typepad to evolve, but that has not happened fast enough, so now I got this new Wordpress installation. Yes, all the permalinks to my old site are broken, but hopefully only temporarily. The content is still out there in the ether…. When it comes down to it, the bulk of my new site is simply made up of 3 Twitter feeds that I write (schulkin, virgance & carrotmob). If I start doing other relevant activity I’ll add those feeds into the lifestream as well. Let me know if you guys have any feedback on this site…happy to receive your ideas about what design theme I should put on this site. Let this be a reminder that if you were subscribed to my old blog via RSS, that feed is probably busted, so try again. Maybe I will try to post more short “Tumblr-style” posts with this blog. I’ve said that before though, and failed. We shall see. Anyway, thanks for checking out version 3.0 of brentschulkin.com!
