Augmented Journalism

Claiming the name was one thing, publishing a couple of blogposts was a second. Dumping my whole TrueSlant-hitory on it an incomprehensible third.

In other words:

1. I claimed this platform a year and a half ago, knowing that a fusion of old fashioned journalism with modern style blogging could lead to something with “augmented value”.

2. I published a couple of maybe interesting thoughts and tried to ignite a discussion on other platforms. Which didn’t work out at all.

3. After the – most unfortunate – removal of trueslant.com (for which I was a blogger) from the Forbes-network, I had to dump my 100+ blogposts somewhere. And because I thought augmentedjournalism.com had gotten into a permanent state of sleep, I thought I might as well use this platform as a dump spot. Which I did, as you can see below…

But now I read this blogpost on owni.eu, and doubt has conquered my brain once again. It might not have been such a bad idea after all. So what now? Revamp this thing? Give it away? Invite owni-staff on it? Get active again? Or just fall asleep for ever?

Just tell me.
