I want to try something new. I love your feedback so tell me what you think about this:

Instead of blogging 20+ times a day, I can just keep Microsoft Word open all day and type one long blog post that I would publish at the end of every night.

Why would I do such a thing?

It’s easier for me. It’s easier for people subscribed via RSS. It’s easier for you guys to check this site once a day versus 50. The hits don’t matter to me, connecting to people does. I’ve spoken to at least 50 Nokia employees since starting this blog, partied with 4 of them in NYC and 1 has even taken me on a tour of the Nokia USA headquarters in Texas. I’ve met Rafe from All About Symbian, Darla Mack, Jonathan Greene and Robert Scoble. I probably know more about Finland now than the average American knows about the entire continent of Europe. This blog has seriously been one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.

I still don’t get it Stefan, only once a day?

If I get a random idea or want to share some off topic videos or news then I’ll do it. I’m not putting a limit on myself to once a day; I just want to change the format is all.

I love and respect your opinions. Give me your feedback. Please.

    I’ll miss the mid-day fill, but content is content. Keep it quality with the Stefan attitude and we’ll (obviously) keep on reading!

    I think it’s a bad idea. A blog is made of chunks called posts that should ideally be self-contained. When I send a link from Ring Nokia to a friend, I want to point out one specific cool thing you said or linked to, not a huge blob with 40 different things.

    It’s not broken, don’t fix it!

    Ehhh well the link dumps would be separate from my ideas and editorials of course.

    And it is broken. It’s breaking me. I need to get out into the job market, I don’t have time to write elaborate blog posts all day.

    If I was getting paid to do this nothing would change. Trust me.

    You don’t have to do it throughout the whole day, just separate the posts by topic. So if you write your long post, break it into pieces as you publish it. After following your blog for some time, I think that the best thing about it is all of the different topics related to the blog that you cover, and merging them would just be one nastily wordy post per day. I think stay with the multiple posts.

    why word? why not use an offline blogging tool like rapidweaver. lets you have each topic individually with rss and eyerything…
