Jungle Disk has had a company blog since we started, which we’ve found to be a great tool to communicate with customers about our products and plans. Many times I’ve been tempted to post my personal point of view on topics ranging from the startup life to cloud computing, but decided against it since most subscribers to this blog are customers who are primarily interested in product news and updates.
After my post earlier this summer on the Structure08 conference, I found that there were also a number of readers who were interested in broader commentary on the cloud computing space, so I decided to start a personal blog, which you can find at http://davewright.me. I’ve already got a few posts up, the first covering the definition of cloud computing, and the second reflecting on how cloud computing is really just a way to describe how the Internet is transforming traditional IT.
While my first few posts are cloud-centric, I do expect to talk about a number of other software development and broader Internet topics as well. If you’re just interested in Jungle Disk, don’t worry – the latest news will always break right here first.

Ha! I was just nagging another internet vendor about this – you really don’t need to separate! Have the blog be your aggregate, and if you want to appease the gearhead losers who only want product updates (I kid, sorta), well they all have RSS readers anyway, so just have an rss changelog rolling each change.
But, you know, if you’re not going to permalink the personal blog, and it rolls off the blog page… You just lost everyone who’d be interested in your focused and/or broader perspective on things. :/
And yes, when you have NO product updates, or a rev is running late, it WILL appease some of your customers to know you are alive and kicking – it’s so hard to tell when a company/developer is no longer active, since the website stays up until the lights go out.
