Big Bright Bulb is two months old today (yay!), and it’s time to fish or cut bait. When I started blogging back in February, I said I’d move on to something else in two months if, despite my best effort:

• no one showed up
• no one came back
• no one subscribed
• no one noticed
• I hated it, or
• readers told me they hated it

Then y’all showed up and kept coming back and subscribed to the feed and linked to the posts and left interesting comments and offered helpful feedback and I really really enjoy it and YOU—so I’m staying :)

And because BBB is in for the long haul, here’s new stuff you’ll be seeing in the next few months:

Web Wanderlust

On Fridays I’ll be posting my best bookmarks from the week. I’m online all day for work, life, blog, and school, so there’s likely to be an odd mix of cartoons, business and blogging tips, photography, news of the weird, web design, web tools, and Web 2.0.

I hope these links will be fun to poke through at the end of your busy week, and that you’ll discover nifty bits of the Web you haven’t seen yet.

BBB weekly digest

My friend Chris wants to follow BBB, but he 1) isn’t an RSS feed kind of guy, and 2) doesn’t want an email each time I post. Instead, he would prefer the highlights of the blog once a week, so he can have a one-shot, catchall, bird’s eye view.

I suspect he isn’t the only one who’d like an executive summary, so later this month there will be a third subscription option: a Saturday morning email with a list of the week’s posts, comment highlights, some links from Friday’s Web Wanderlust, and other bloggy bits.

A new series (or three)

Positive feedback is inching in for the Going NoWare posts, where I wrote about abandoning traditional software for a wholly mobile office run on Web 2.0 applications. There will be more on the unexpected bliss and harsh realities of that as I make the switch.

Also, as a happy wave to my mortality, I’ll be releasing my untended ideas into the wild. It would take 139 years for me to manifest them all, and I may only get 40 to 50 more years from this turn of the wheel. None of the ideas are new or perfected, but we can use the comments area to brainstorm the best out of them, and get them ready for whoever they’re meant for.

And since I’m waist deep in databases for work and school, there will likely be posts on leveraging your sales and customer data to grow your business. I’m still thinking this one through, so more on that later.

Room for one more

The Web is packed with content for businesses of every size: forums, directories, magazines, tools, and blogs. With all that’s out there, I was worried there’d be nothing for me to add.

Instead, I found an online community of solopreneurs and microbizzers, bloggers and tweeters, askers and answerers. And every person I’ve met has made me feel there was plenty of space at the table.

A thousand thanks for making me feel welcome,
