2009, 2010 and beyond

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 12:09 AM PST

It’s almost the end of December and I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. This year has been quite full of surprises with the economic crisis and all. Can’t believe Christmas is on Friday! Holiday time for me!

This year has been full of achievements and downfalls both personally and business wise.

I think I’ll just mention a couple of things I did business wise and keep the personal ones to close friends and family. Don’t want to write a 10 part blog series.

Open Circle Solutions has grown over the last year and we will step into 2010 with a bang! Busy working on a project that I will announce soon!

I’ve been offered a great position a couple of months ago as a Social Media Manager in a big international internet marketing franchise and it’s been going great. It’s quite nice to see what the social media impact can be for big companies. I have also done allot of project management for them and will most likely focus allot on that in the near future.

This year I have already developed and configured 38 websites where roughly 16-17 are blogs. Why can’t you just install an open source system out of the box with all the bells and whistles? Why do I always need to fix the code? Feels like I have been a developer since I was born and I don’t think I’ll ever stop. It always finds me.

This year I have written over 340 blog posts on all my personal and business blogs and written many (too lazy to count) articles on other Web 2.0 sites spread around the world. Maybe I should become a full time content writer or just write a book “Social media South Africa“… sounds too familiar on something else that I’m trying to do.

It’s been a fun year and I can’t wait for the holidays. Going down to the wild coast with a couple of friends. Will most likely write a couple of blog posts while I’m there.

2010 and beyond

Plans, plans, plans! I believe 2010 is going to be a great year. Once again business and personal wise. My wife and I decided to start with a family and I’m planning to grow Open Circle Solutions even more.

What have you done in 2009 that you are proud of and what are you planning for 2010?
