I’ve been pretty busy lately so I didn’t even notice this. As of last month, I’ve been blogging here at Take A Peck for two years. The blog has definitely undergone some changes since I started it in 2006, shifting from focusing on advertising and random thoughts to sports business and social networking.
Here are a couple of posts from the last two years.

In December 2007, North Carolina’s governor signed a bill that allows mixed martial arts fights to be staged and promoted in NC. On April 26, Carolina Fight Promotions will have an event in Raleigh at Dorton arena.
This is obviously not major news nationally, but it’s just one more signal that MMA isn’t going away anytime soon. According to Carolina Fight Promotions, “MMA fights were officially the number one grossing sporting events in 2007. More viewers tuned in to the reality TV series “The Ultimate Fighter” than the American League Baseball playoffs.”
On another note, I’ve been on vacation the past two weeks (NC mtns, beach and Aspen) so that’s why posts have been sparse around here lately. Expect to see more regular updates from now on.

Take A Peck experienced record traffic in January. It’s clear that more and more people are interested in the intersection of sports business and social networking. While I don’t claim to be the know-it-all authority on these subjects, I at least try to provide a few interesting posts each week that may lead to the development of new ideas and discussions. If you like what you see here, you may want to subscribe so can keep up with what’s new.
Thanks for stopping by. What questions do you have about sports and social networking that you’d like to see answered here?
