I thought it would be easier… I’m struggling to find the right tone for the BlogTalk proposal. From one side I tend to speak blogging language and to use “I” as I would do in my blog. From another side, I’m writing a paper, so I’m falling into academic writing style. I guess it’s because I try to put together my passion and more objective “data-analysis-conclusions” style…
Next to it it’s not clear for me do I write for the web or for print? In the first case I can rely heavily on links (blogging style), while in the second text has to be more self-explaining (paper style). What do I do with references? Do I link to “The Tipping point” (and others) or should I provide proper reference? Now it’s only proposal, but I have to make choices for the final version. May be I will end up with having extended version with all “background” links in my blog and referring to it from the paper.
The worst thing is that I still have to collect the data :) The good thing is that the questionnaire is almost ready, in the blogosphere things go fast and I don’t need everything to submit proposal :)))
