My last post on here was on March 11th 2007, six months ago. In fact, the last year or two hasn't seen as many posts to my tigblog as I used to make. To be honest, with the huge boom in blogging over the last couple of years, major blogging platforms have dwarfed tigblogs as a place to write. I've tried to set up a couple of blogs, here and there on various subjects, but I find myself returning to the natural comfort of blogging via TakingITGlobal. This site has grown so much since I first joined in early 2003, I've also grown quite a bit!

Joining this site set me on a journey, which continues to this day. I've gotten a lot more out of life thanks to the knowledge that I'm not the only young person in the world who wants to make a difference. I've been inspired to keep trying to do my own thing. But as I said before, it's all too easy to get distracted from TIG by other social networks, such as Facebook and the like.

I think from now on I'll do all of my blog posts here, and integrate it into my Facebook account using RSS. Actually, I think it would be a great idea for the guys to consider creating a TIG Facebook app (if they haven't already) - Facebook has the raw power of a massive social network, and I think TIG can compete with that by allowing some level of integration between the two; users shouldn't have to choose between Facebook or TIG, and there are benefits to be had for using both.

So the last six months has been pretty crazy, as per usual. I started working for the British Prime Minister (Tony Blair) and the rulling party, Labour in January, and that assignment ended in July. Whilst there, I launched the first YouTube video channel for an acting head of government, which was very exciting. Since July I've been figuring out what it is I want to do, and now I'm putting a plan into action. The first step of which involves leaving London again (having been here for two straight years now) and returning to somewhere a bit more sunny.

I hope I keep up the TIGBlog, and I look forward to many entries over the coming months.
