Decided its time to blog again. After all, I spend half my life telling everyone else to do it in tourism. I think I’m going to start creating a weekly summary of anything I’ve learned throughout the week. I’m still learning, of course. I am, we all are, we have to.
The world of digital tourism is moving at such a pace it’s hard not to pick up on something new everyday. I use twitter for that, I use twitter as a search engine for knowledge and ideas. Some people look at me a bit strange when I say that it but for me, its essential. OK, I do use it to push interesting info out too but I’m less of an ‘engager’ on it. I honestly think I’ve learned more from twitter in the last three years than I did from my entire higher education, and it’s that thought, that has given me an idea to blog again. I think I want to start a weekly summary of what I’ve learned the week before in digital tourism and blast it out on twitter. It may actually reveal to a lot of people how little I know, but so what, nothing to hide in this corner. At least its honest, a from of TruTourism even (!), open and a form of Collaborative consumption I guess – the one big lesson I’ve learned from TED this week.
Right, off to coach rugby (my other passion in life).
