Announcing Phurix Labs
I’ve been thinking about retiring this site for some time now, but have been toying with the pros and cons.
A decision had to be made.
You see, the context of the HM2K blog has always had a subtle undertone of my business and the work I do online. That business is Phurix web hosting.
Phurix has always supported me and the blog, but unfortunately, because of other commitments I have less and less time to write and publish.
At first I thought the best solution would be to shut down the blog and call it a day, while a colleague said he thinks I should keep it online.
I’ve been thinking about a solution for a long time but then, while I was on holiday, it hit me.
Merge it into the Phurix brand and it made sense too:
- HM2K.com was a hard concept to explain
- Easier concept: Phurix Labs:”Where we experiment with ideas and findings”
- HM2K.com had no context, it would often seem random
- Makes more sense in the context of the business
- HM2K.com had no real focus or agenda
- Focus on what is important: the business
- HM2K.com was a burden on one person
- Shared with Phurix
- HM2K.com was not making money
- By improving brand awareness business will increase
A proposal was put forward and it went better than expected, it all seemed to fit together nicely. Perfect!
The decision was made and I have no regrets.
Today, we started by introducing a new “Phurix Labs” theme to HM2K.com, so that’s phase one is done.
Over the next few days, the website will be migrated from here to “labs.phurix.net” (where it now belongs). That’s phaze two.
Thanks for reading and I hope you continue to support the new Phurix Labs project.
These are exciting times, watch this space!
