If you are one of the three people who read this blog regularly, you may have noticed the lack of updates recently. A few months back, I felt that songoose was facing a crossroads — I wasn’t updating all that frequently, we didn’t have any discussion, and although traffic was relatively strong I didn’t feel that I was getting much out of the whole experience. So I decided to turn it up a notch to really see what the blog and its audience were made of. I posted almost daily for 2-3 months, hoping this would bring out the readership, and, most importantly, the discussion (i.e. comments, the currency of bloggers). It did not work.<\/p>\n
