Moving from Blogger to Posterous

THIS BLOG HAS MOVED TO POSTEROUS :


In the process of simplifying things, I've decided to move to Posterous.com. I've tried Wordpress, been on Blogger for over a year, and even considered paying for blog services like Squarespace. There are a lot of good websites but I think it's time to streamline things. I hate repeating myself and with all this technology I really don't think I have to. Wither it's posting blogs, or pictures I'd like to consolidate things and have just have to do them once, I think Posterous.com is an excellent website that allows you to do just that. Check it out for yourself and go to http://posterous.com/ 

If you have an existing website or blog, I think this is an excellent site, the plus is how it really helps you blog or post pictures from your smart phone. A great website if you really want to post on the fly, another reason I wanted to make the switch, I just wanted to post more. Importing your old blog to Posterous is a snap! You keep everything on your blog posts and the comments as well. Give it a try and it won't effect your old site. 

See you there, peace.

How To Delete Your Facebook

I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago, and I'm glad I did. I had my reasons, mostly because the saying, "Ignorance is bliss" totally applied to me then. I don't miss it, to me it was such a time waster and do I really want to know or care what my 8th grade "friend" is up to now? No. Now I'm not trying to be a Scrooge about this, Facebook is extremely useful to a lot of people. To many people,  Facebook is the internet and that is where the problem lies. If you tell someone that Facebook has failed to live up to its privacy policy, they most likely wouldn't care, I think what you post on the internet, regardless of how much Facebook says is private, consider it public, that goes with anything on the internet, not just Facebook. The bigger issue is, Facebook is actively retrograding the internet. Facebook is the new AOL. A big company with over 400 million users that is openly making a power grab, its like if you want to play on the internet you have to join Facebook. Really? What ever happened to the open internet? Facebook is retrograding the internet, it's like putting training wheels on your bike again. Do you want that?
