Re-evaluating my web ‘empire’

by Matt | September 2nd, 2007 |

The little web ‘empire’ of mine has steadily grown over the past few years. I am now operating and managing or contributing to numerous LGBT-oriented websites.

Some of you will remember back when I tried to do a weekly video news show. It was just something short, under 10 minutes, and put up on YouTube every Friday. I had to drawback because I didn’t have the time (a lot of editing can go into 10 minutes of video).

The same drawback is happening now. Some of my readers will remember the pumping I did for a brand new LGBT web-based news organization I was attempting to start with about 15 or so folks. OUTlet News-Media was a great idea at the time, but it has become apparent to me that it just would have been too time consuming.

I also don’t think that it would have fit into any good plan for the continued growth of my main website/blog here at InterstateQ.com… and that, right now, should be my focus as it has been for the past two years. That continued focus has meant the continued growth of my website and my influence on the web as an activist. That is one of the reasons I was first drawn to blogging: you can be active on the ground and on the web at the same time, using the web to further your voice and give LGBT people, especially LGBT youth, a place to speak out and hear about things that relate to their lives.

So… I’m going to focus on InterstateQ.com from now on.

For all those folks I worked with in the dream that was once OUTlet News, I hope that you will contact me if you want to continue working with me and InterstateQ.com. Feel free to contact me anytime and I’ll definitely be glad to have you contributing your wonderful thoughts and opinions here.
