Blog: Robert S. Seiner« February 2007 | Main | October 2007 » July 13, 2007Ten Years After - A Quick TDAN.com RetrospectTen years and eight months ago, my younger daughter was born. Five months after that, I attended my first data-focused conference. Three months later The Data Administration Newsletter, now known as http://www.TDAN.com, was introduced to the world. The world is not nearly the same now as it was ten years ago. The world is a rougher, tougher, meaner, definitely not greener, place. Ten years ago Clinton the first was president of the United States. His legacy is well documented ... nudge, nudge. Bush the second is President now and we all know what his legacy will be. Is ten years long enough to develop a legacy? I never expected this newsletter to be mine. The Data Administration Newsletter is celebrating its 10th Anniversary so pardon me if I get sentimental here for just a moment. Ten years … Back then I hardly imagined that the newsletter would last this long. And now look at it – a brand spanking new look, more content, more articles, and way more exposure. The 10th Anniversary issue marks the first recognizable aspect of my affiliation with the Business Intelligence Network (B-Eye). B-Eye and I expect that there will be an adjustment period for long time readers to get used to the new look. One thing is for certain. TDAN.com will continue to provide all of the previous and older content and the relationship with B-Eye will allow TDAN.com to flourish with new and improved ways of sharing information about successful data, information, and knowledge management. So look at it this way. TDAN.com is ten years old and it is being injected with a lot of new energy. Thank you to everybody that has been a reader over the years. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Ten years … Back then I hardly imagined that the newsletter would connect me with so many incredible people and take me so many incredible places. Without TDAN.com I strongly believe that I would not have had the opportunity to start KIK Consulting. Without TDAN.com I would not have connected with the most respected individuals in the data management industry, become associated with the best known and most respected industry events, publishers, authors and meet so many practitioners that are passionate about their trade. I wish that I could list you all here but that would be a boring read. You know who you are and I thank you for enhancing my data administration experience thus far. To wrap up this quick blog – Thank you everybody that has contributed to the TEN YEARS of TDAN.com. New energy, new media and technologies, renewed passion, and certainly the need for disciplined data management will drive me and the publication forward. I hope you will stick around for many more years. With any luck, The Data Administration Newsletter will continue to grow and thrive for many years to come. Thank you.
