Hah! It’s true! I’m starved! Starved for content!

It’s true, Paul. If you don’t post enough, he’ll starve. Sort of like the collective Tamagotchi pet of the blogging world, if you will…

Apparently you don’t understand how this works. Rather than having my posts in a centralized location, I use the blogs of others as my platforms. It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship.

And so, Adam, when did you post your last blog post? Hmmm?

That’s 1-0 to me, I think.

You’re slacking off! More posts!

Opps, I meant to say…I didn’t know where to post this. Sorry, I’m trying to multitask - very uneffectively.

Paul - I know where to post this on your blog, but I wanted to alert you to this article: Interesting pro-CAFTA perspective
I added it to my blog discussion about CAFTA.

I agree with jjk on all counts. But to speak to his point against gv’s, the reason so many people are using WordPress specifically may be because of Paul’s and my goading, but there are lots of good online systems out there that are extremely easy to start and keep using. Blogger is a great service, LiveJournal’s got an interesting gimmick, and what I’ve seen of upsaid looks decent too. There’s a lot more power and extensibility in WordPress (or, dare I mention it, Moveable Type), but for a basic blogoform website, all those (and I’m sure others) would do quite well.

[I should say I'm (perhaps unfairly - but only perhaps) biased against WordPress' cousin b2evolution. I've heard it's usable, though ;)]

I mean, does keep crashing. Look, it’s even ruining my grammar…

Actually, that’s similar to what I’ve observed about people using friendster, although there I think the critical number is higher. People with only a few connections to the network often just sign up and never return, but those with more become eager to invite more people and to give testimonials and check people’s profile updates.

And I may end up needing some blog-setup wizardry myself if my service doesn’t keep crashing like it has been (grrrrrrr….)

I’m waiting for the Idoru Effect - where I can track people you all know who don’t blog solely by their appearance on the blogs of bloggers.

We used to be able to do it in Dublin in a limited fashion. This is my challenge to y’all…

Ignore Paul. Read my blog.

Paul is a blog evangelist. He wants us to make friends and recruit Blog converts. Mwhahaha.
