Yet Another Blog

I have lost count of the number blogs I have created.

I already have one blog on Blogger.

• Robert Lavigne, Your Social Business Mentor

I already have one blog on Posterous.

• The @RLavigne42 Rear View Mirror - Focus: Enterprise 2.0, Social Media, Social CRM and Personal Branding

I already have three blogs on Tumblr.

• Innovation at the Speed of Thought
• #TDGv Racing: Season Two (2011)
• #TDGv Studios:A Collaborative Digital Agency @TDGv

I already have four blogs on Wordpress.

• Life@42: A Leadership Social Novel | by Robert Lavigne @ RLavigne42.com
• "We are at the Intersection of Social Media and YOUR Business" ~Robert Lavigne, @TDGv
• Deep Reflections by 42DeepThought
• My Thoughts Enclosed… | A peek inside the mind of @RLavigne42

So why should I create Yet Another Blog?

Each blog has a goal.

Each site has a purpose.

Each idea has a home.

However, for this Blog to Prosper another Blog has to Wither.

On this day, I am announcing that

rlavigne42.wordpress.com is no longer available.

On March 2009, I started My Thoughts Enclosed on Wordpress as a way of documenting my research into the fields of Enterprise 2.0, Social CRM, Social Media and Personal Branding.

The site contained numerous of my original articles based on the research I was doing at the time.

More importantly, the site contained nearly all of my tweets aggregated and published as The @RLavigne42 Tweet Round-Up.

As I was learning, I was sharing.

Not only could others follow my research, but it provided me an archive of all my research.

Each entry was tagged with the twitter handles of those I collected knowledge from.

I could quite literally pull up what I learned on any given day and know the source of this insight.

The goal was to use My Thoughts Enclosed as a reference base and fully indexed compendium for Life@42.

Well after nearly 3 years and over 1,000 posts, WordPress decided to suspend My Thoughts Enclosed.

I have since submitted a request to reactivate the My Thoughts Enclosed.

I have explained the real nature of the over 20,000 research tweets archived as part of this blog.

I have exported the content of the blog for archive purposes and may self-host it myself one day.

While the site may be re-activated by WordPress, my active contributions to that blog will now cease.


Deep Reflections was a pre-cursor to  "We are at the Intersection of Social Media and YOUR Business".

The @RLavigne42 Rear View Mirror was a pre-cursor to Innovation at the Speed of Thought.

My Thoughts Enclosed..., however, was a companion to Life@42: A Leadership Social Novel.

 #TDGv Studios:A Collaborative Digital Agency @TDGv has a companion in #TDGv Racing: Season Two (2011).

Life@42 is still very much in need of a companion.

Deep Reflections, The @RLavigne42 Rear View Mirror and My Thoughts Enclosed... are now inactive.

Life@42: A Leadership Social Novel will continue to focus on the leadership side of Robert Lavigne.

The Other Side of Forty-Two (A Life@42 Companion) will now focus on the social side of Robert Lavigne.
