Hi Katherine, thanks for leaving a comment.

That's right, we don't want any wishy-washiness! So a) no, you can't, no multiple passion, and b) hmm, don't think so. Seems everyone has one but agree some people have lost it so deeply that it might take them a while to find it again. A bit more involved a process than our '7 questions'.

In fact, just last night I went for a beer with good friend of mine here in Murcia (38-year old woman, 18 years doing accounting) and had this conversation too. She thought that accounting was her true passion but then we went through the 7 questions and she answered 'no' to five out of seven, so that's definitely not it.

I can feel a 'Passion (VI)' post coming on, something like: 'How to start rediscovering a lost passion'. Keep thinking…

No problem, gracias por la aportación.

Right, someone mentioned that yesterday, I think it was the PP foreign affairs spokesman. Maybe that's who the 100 million was for…

Hi Tim, you're right, absolutely despicable. Looks like he has some pretty fervent loyalist supporters, this time, though. Thanks for the link.

Hey Serge, how's it hanging man…! Sign up for the newsletter too. It'll be fun.

Hi John, thanks for your comment. And what a good, challenging comment it is. I like those. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Let's see:

Live blogging: I haven't done a lot of academic research on this, of course, but I know I liked what the Guardian and Al Jazeera have done with this during the Arab revolts. I loved it, even. Was hooked, for the reasons I've explained above. Set a news junkie to catch a news junkie and all that. And technically, if you've already got a blog set up, it's really easy: it's just updating the same blog post throughout the day with what you find. and think is important for your readers The challenging bit is the selection of the material, of course. I read some posts on this over the weekend which you will enjoy too if you like this topic:

What do you mean by not mixing 'live' and 'ilnk'…?

Knowing your readers: totally agree, of course. Will have to wait for this to evolve to find out who they are though, this is a brand new change of direction. I think I know my current regular readers quite well. After the links and live blogging, there are other parts of the new plan coming over the next few days. First I have to do what I'm going to do, then start to get to know the people who turn up to read it—my audience. It will be a pleasure. Last year I ran a reader survey with Google Docs which got some great responses and just last night was thinking of bringing that back for this new project.

You're very welcome to stick around for the fun!

Thanks Pedro! I'm excited too. We're going to have some fun.

Thanks Luke, thanks for your support! It will be fun to see where it goes.

Thanks Ángel! Will keep it up, it's basically what I think about all day anyway :-). Although if we spend all day arguing about what to call it on Twitter, probably won't publish very much :-).

Yeah, could do, although I think the key is not popularity or page views or links or algorithms in this case. Algorithms can answer what's linked to, what's popular or what's being tweeted, but they can't answer the questions: "what's the story?" + "what's important?" I've seen Postrank before but thanks for the reminder, I'll check them out again.
