As BlogActiv's Launch Director, I shepherded the blog platform you're looking at now through its launch phase (August 2007-February 2008). When I left in March 2008, I was asked to keep an eye on Blogactiv from its Board, and so launched this blog to experiment and explore the European online public sphere, and the role that Blogactiv could play in it.
While I left the Blogactiv board in March 2010, the subject continues to fascinate, so I kept blogging. Summaries of the early years can be found in the Annual Reviews of 2010, 2011 and 2012, when I temporarily closed this blog to ponder where I wanted to take it.
The answer was to experiment with Tumblr and Google+, followed by LinkedIn after they invited me to join their pilot programme. Google+ & LinkedIn disappointed, so I returned here, kept experimenting with Medium, and started curating Stuff I Like, Think & Do every day on a Content Hub I built on Tumblr, which also hosts my fortnightly "best of" newsletter (subscribe).
Why? Check out my Personal Content Strategy.
Finally, in mid-October 2017, ten years to the day from my first post, I shuttered this blog.
Contact me for work via LinkedIn or my company's boring brochureware website.

Great stuff. Though don’t stop taking the pills…
BTW tout does not take an e before le contenu 😉
