Okay, not like it’s been a surprise or anything, as I’ve not been a regular poster on one of the bigger blogs I’d written on over the years, but I “officially” closed The Media Drop today, about five years and a week since its debut.
It’s been a long time coming, I’ve had a zillion conversations with people about what to do with it and how to handle the sorta conflict of working in public relations, talking to media people all day long, while working for a media company. Tricky, right? In any case, it was a total blast while it lasted, was one of the cooler things I’ve been able to do on the Web to date (unless you want to count my “Look! it’s Enrico Palazzo!” quote on the Internet Pizza Server back in 1995, while still in college), and I’ll definitely miss it.
Will it be back? You never know. I’m not taking it “down,” if you will, and am obviously working on a ton of projects that some of you are already aware of, so that’s where it’s at. Just thought some of you might like to know in case you’re still holding out hope in your RSS reader that TMD will be back in action – alas, it isn’t in the cards.
Good night TMD.
Sleep well, sweet prince of a media site.
