Over the weekend, a radio personality that I follow religitously, put a blog post on how he trusted buzz (pops). Buzz then had some phenomenal error that didn’t allow his followers to see his content. No one recognized this for 16 days, including himself. Even JoyOfTech (pops) made a comic about what happened. So what, who really cares about the plight of some famous internet celebrity.
I believe everything he says there is true, and want to start adopting it. I am working on a way to not cross post to egregiously. I am tired of having people find me on facebook or twitter. I want to be found online, here, at this blog.
That means I have to blog more. Throw out the ideas that all entries must be meaningful and well researched. Look past the meaningful, and realize that meaningless is sometimes the best. Rant on the stupid, just because it gives an outlet. 140 characters shouldn’t be enough. I am not saying spew nonsense, and clog up the internet, but if there is something that needs to be said, spend time saying it.
Remember a blog is your page. You own it, you can take the data away with you, somewhere else. Look at your social media site, and see if the same things is true. Can you take your content, and those who follow it. The answer is no. Having a blog is yours. You control the content, the readership, and the all important “What happens next.”
