John Newton, Alfresco co-founder, is a man I have never met.  Regardless of this important fact, I feel like I have gotten to know a small part of him through his blog.  While Newton's blog may focus on Alfresco, his posts offers a wide range of insights on subjects such as commercial open source, content management,  enterprise software,  business processes, and information technology.  So if you have any idea of who I am through my own writings  it should be no surprise to you that I enjoy reading and talking about some of his articles on my own site.

During the past few months, Newton has been doing what many good bloggers are doing these days...writing guest blogs for professional online publications such as his blog on ZDNet.  While I'm glad to see his thoughts reach a broader audience, something regarding his ZDNet posts have been missing for me.  Don't get me wrong, the articles on ZDNet are still worth reading but those articles don't seem to have the same "thinking out loud" content I'm accustomed to through his personal blog.  Newton finally offered an explanation of why his blogging is different on ZDNet.
