For the tiny handful of folks paying attention, I want to update what's happening with this project.
I've been holding off on posting for a few related reasons. The kind of blog I'd want to do about online business models would involve fairly high volume posting and also require my shifting to Movable Type based on what I think would work best for a variety of reasons.
It would also require me to start tracking and processing news and information at a rate that's a little beyond me unless I go in for a really serious commitment. I've been considering doing that because what I envision would be very satisfying, I believe, both for myself and for those trying to do business online.
But I'm not sure I can make that commitment right now and it's suddenly complicated by the fact that I've started blogging about blogging and web publishing at This Business of Blogging (& Web Publishing).
That blog was launched to support some workshop activity I've been developing locally in Raleigh, NC and I was planning on occasionally dropping more general posts about some of the things I've learned about blogging on the way.
But I'm finding myself wanting to post there more frequently and realizing that some of what I would do here could also be done there without the high volume requirement I envision for Flux Research.
So I'm going to work on that blog's design a bit, do some more posting and see how that feels. That might also free this domain up for some more personal posting on the subject of change that has interested me since I first started reading about the late 60s and social change back when I was but a young lad in the early 70s.
I'm also developing some other projects that are low volume but require periodic attention, such as Hip Hop Research, an information resource focused on developing a book list of academic studies of hip hop. If I launch another high volume project in addition to ProHipHop, that would effectively kill these other projects and I'm not wanting to do that.
If I start doing online business model related posts at This Business of Blogging, I'll update here and probably make a final decision at that point.
If you're interested in this topic and want to drop me a line, please do so: clyde(at)fluxresearch(dot)com.
Otherwise, stay tuned and consider subscribing to This Business of Blogging since, no matter what I decide, I will be doing some related posts over there.
