blogging: March 2008 Archives

Ross from Tucows is a keen cyclist (and photographer) and is taking part in a charity cycle later this year. He's looking for a blogger to help promote the event and get them lots of coverage.

More details on his site

I came across this earlier this evening.

I don't use certain types of language in my own writing and have mentioned this more than once in the past, but can a company offering a blog hosting service suspend a site for language use?

Where exactly do you draw the line?

What exactly is "offensive"?

Thoughts on a postcard ....

One of my pethates (I seem to have a lot!) is blogs that aren't actually blogs. All they seem to have is the person's Twitter updates and maybe their latest saved links.

Either blog or don't.

I don't mind if you don't post that often, but if I wanted your Twitter updates I'd just subscribe to that instead.

I've got a few invites to Hellotxt and Jaiku available if anyone wants them.

Hellotxt is a nice little idea.

Their description sums it up:

HelloTxt is an aggregate of microblogging services through which the user can insert their messages on all main microblogging services in a simply and simultaneous way.

Of course the downside to it is that it makes it all that much easier to spam the universe with your microblogging messages!
