Testing, Testing ... 1, 2, 3

I set up this blog in the fall, and events in my family life kept me from thinking about blogging for work. Ever since then, I have been asking myself, why does the world need another blog on social media, user experience, health, etc.?

For the most part, I am still not settled on this issue. I tend to comment and repost the insights of others on my Twitter feed (where I am @egculbertson) and in my Google Reader feed.

This blog will serve two purposes:
1. I write periodically for other Web sites, and this blog will serve as a home base for that writing and for announcements of various projects where I work.
2. I have a wide set of interests, so I will do my best to write about those issues in order to better understand them. My foci will be in health (especially health 2.0), the use of Web for philanthropy and general issues in social media and user-centered Web design.

This blog is not likely to cover more personal observations (I have a semi-abandoned Oak Park blog for that as well as chatter on Twitter).

After I catch up on posting old content from my writing, I expect I will update this blog once a week or so.

Thanks for reading! Please feel free to comment or send me e-mail at emily (at) egculbertson (dot) com if you have questions.
