Migrations
January 20th, 2009 - posted by Ducky[Migrations are movements that animals make regularly or periodically (seasonally) along precise (and generally repeated) routes that cover long distances, which are followed by a return to the point of origin.] (translated from Italian Wikipedia)
I’ve quoted from Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, to give you some sad, but also exciting, news.
We are working on a series of new communication projects, of which I can’t tell you about yet, that have led us to suspend Duck Side, at least for now.
This is a time when a lot of energy is needed, and people have been telling me, “we need you”. So, I can’t really say if or when I’ll be coming back to work on our blog. I hope that this “freezer” period will not go on for too long. I’d like to take a moment to review what we’ve accomplished up to now.
For the past two years, Duck Side has been a window, which has always been open and always let in fresh air, onto us and our world. We have shared a fantastic journey. We have stayed in formation with out overdoing it. I am truly proud to have been a part of it along with many of my colleagues who have found a voice through the blog.
Prior to this wonderful adventure, my passion for writing was decidedly latent.
However, as the days went by, the words did come to me easily and spontaneously. I’ve discovered firsthand that communication enriches both those who write and those who read.
Being the “spokesperson” for a company of the caliber of Mandarina Duck has been a great honor. It has allowed me to learn that the Web is not just a cold virtual dimension made up of keystrokes and numbers but a true opportunity to dialogue and to share news, suggestions, thoughts and emotions.
It is made up of lovely people who have helped me everyday in my personal electronic battle, even against my own capricious computer (I can’t tell you how many times it has crashed!).
When I see corporate blogs on Google, I can say that ours is up there with the best of them. While, I don’t know much about algorithms, I think that that is a good thing. Our efforts have helped to put Italian business on the Web and I hope that many other companies will follow. Behind the websites are good ideas, real people and human warmth.
People like you, whom I give a big “thank you” to for your patience, respect, participation, advice and praise, all of which has made us a better company.
Goodbye for now!
