Two quick updates on various things happening at the moment.
DPiP:
The second annual Digital People in Peterborough (#DPiP) pre-Christmas curry took place last night, and once again proved to be a great evening of conversation with all sorts of people working in and around digital technology in the Peterborough/Cambridgeshire area.
Our next meetup is at The Brewery Tap on January 17th, 2013. You can check out more details on the DPiP website.
A new me?
I originally started TheWayoftheWeb as a personal blog while I was first employed as a journalist and then as a marketing manager. That was several years ago, and in that time, a lot has changed, including the launch and growth of TheWayoftheWeb as first a personal business, and now an organisation which employs a virtual team.
As a result, I’ve questioned how this site needs to evolve, and what content belongs on it as a business, rather than a personal blog. As a result, I’ve finally taken the time to set up a new blog at danthornton.net.
It’s not quite finished yet, but I’ve started updating there, and wanted to explain how the split works.
TheWayoftheWeb will continue to be updated by me, hopefully with more members of the team appearing in future. It’s not going to become full of self-promotion and business buzzwords, but will have a clearer focus on the things which underpin the business: Content, Marketing, Technology.
DanThornton.net will be a more personal blog, and include anything and everything that I want to put online, whether it’s related to work, leisure, music, videogames etc. If I want to share a random Instragram photo, comments on a movie, or anything else, that’s where you’ll find it in future.
Hopefully it means that both sites will develop to become more focused, and as a result, more useful in the future. Old non-work related posts will continue to reside here for the time being, and if they do get migrated across, the necessary redirects will be in place to ensure links still work.
