What a nice surprise to find you were blogging again and I'd missed it until Blog@bilities turned up in a Google alert I never canceled. A year ago I left the PR company where I had created that blog--they've taken it down until they decide what to do with it. Meanwhile, I started a new consultancy and you can find me blogging at Every Dot Connects. I look forward to reconnecting with you through your writing. Hi, James.

Will be interesting to hear how the world of media relations works in Moscow - looking forward to more posts over the coming weeks. You won't have to post many to exceed my post rate - blogging is feeling the squeeze in a busy work/freelance/studying/family life! cheers, sw Hi James – welcome back!

Their participation is deliberately limited and therefore meaningless.

Past its peak? Perhaps not, but I think some of those who dived into blogging, particularly in 2005 and 2006, have perhaps lost interest now that it's no longer the Next Big Thing. That said, perhaps it's just that the concept is maturing. The lines between journalism and blogging are becoming increasingly blurred, and more and more people are using blogs as serious communications tools - look at David Miliband, for example.

Actually, there was a lonnng gap during which Staines/Fawkes generally kept his head down. That had more to do with his Newsnight disaster than me, but it was fun while it lasted. :o) Welcome back online!

I'm currently doing up the blog (the current layout offends my eyes) and will include you in the blogroll, care to share the link love? Lots of people have stopped blogging it seems, I took a six month sabatical recently and I'm not very good at keeping it updated, do you think that blogging is past it's peak? I'd love to know your opinions. Alex Hey James,

Seems very exciting. I am fine thank you but I think the more important question is: how are you given recent events in Moscow?
