Can you believe it\u2019s been five years?\u00a0 I recently read my first post and actually thought it was an ok analysis of HRO vendors at the time.\u00a0 Pretty funny to me how much things have changed, but also how much I\u2019ve learned both through work and the blog.\u00a0 I spent 2009 writing much less than I should have, but seem to have entered 2010 quite rejuvenated.\u00a0 I\u2019m pleased to say that I\u2019m once again written out a few months as I used to do, and that my readership is growing once again after being a slacker for a year.\u00a0 At any rate, I’m not sure how many others in the HR arena have made it this far, or who have written as much content, so it’s a milestone that I’m reasonably pleased with.<\/p>\n
I don’t do a blogroll, there are far too many.\u00a0 I do have a links list that references those whose posts I write about most frequently.\u00a0 However, if I were ever to do an abridged blogroll, the below is it.\u00a0 I know I forgot people, and I apologize.<\/p>\n
I still pay attention to many of the people who inspired me when I started five years ago:<\/p>\n
But also a whole new set of people who I follow on the blogs or twitter who have entered my scope (in the years after I started systematicHR) as content owners (although some of these have been content owners in a more traditional \u2013 non-blog sense for a long time):<\/p>\n
I had originally said that I would stop writing at 4 years, but then 4 years came and went, and even though I was producing less, I just could not stop.\u00a0 So I decided I\u2019d get to 1000 posts and decide what to do, but I\u2019m now confident I\u2019ll keep writing after that milestone as well.\u00a0 So long as there is content to write about, and as long as I feel that I\u2019m doing it well, I\u2019ll keep going.<\/p>\n
So here\u2019s to five years, and to my readers, and to all the people who inspire me.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n
