BLOGGERTUNITY

I have been meaning to write this little post for quite a while. I coined the term many many months ago when I was at my local pub quiz.

Most of you bloggers out there realise that once you start blogging you go one of two ways. You get addicted, it consumes time and you post. Or you have a go for a while and then it peters out as you run out of ideas or opportunities to blog.

This got me thinking about a "bloggertunity". This is an event that leads to the opportunity to blog.

I have checked http://www.dictionary.com/ and the word is not referenced.......Indeed the resultant alternatives leave something to be desired if you ask me.... Look Here.

I then decided to google the term and it came up with "Results 1 - 10 of about 171,000 for bloggertunity. (0.07 seconds)" Number of hits for the term as of 31st January 2009 17:40 NZ Time). So clearly it is going to take a while for the term to catch on. Try typing in Britney or Obama and look at their results for a comparison.

But who knows, in the future this word might be as much a part of everyday language as "googled". Time will be the judge on this one.

How many now? Click the link below to find out?

I then came across the piece of paper (hence this post) I wrote that night which has a few other interesting blog posts. So with pen and paper in hand you should never pass up on an opportunity to generate content for your blog.

Now, for the regular readers of this blog focused on software development principles and the model driven development tools CA Plex and CA 2E (Synon) you could be forgiven for asking the question "What relevance does this post have to your blog Lee?".

Well you are quite right. The answer is a resounding

"NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING."

But it was a bloggertunity that I couldn't let pass me by.

Thanks for reading.
Lee.
