Valley Girl on the Blogging Crossroads

Oh, yes, I do actually still write a column for BusinessWeek. I think this was ideally supposed to run about a month ago, but it's finally out today. For loyal readers of my site, this won't be incredibly new. I've blogged about this angst a lot, and it was the subject of my blog-like, town-hall style keynote at Gnomedex in September, which as you can see actually greatly influenced my thinking about the topic towards the end of the column, so thanks again to all the participants.

But, if you don't mind, click on the link anyway. I'm renegotiating my contract with BW as we speak and it'd be nice to look like I generate traffic! ;) As, always, thanks to Tom Giles for putting up with my wacky schedule and being an awesome editor.

I have a pipeline of column ideas I can't wait to get to, and now that the tour is wrapping up, I'll have a little more energy to throw at them. Looking forward to a few months of being sarah lacy (lowercase) and not SARAH LACY TM and just doing some good reporting and writing again.

....Including a new chapter for the book's paperback release next spring!!! Everyone I've told that to has asked if they get some kind of discount if they already bought the hardcover, like when Jobs gave people those iPhone rebates. I love geeks.
