Where I used to post every day, even just one liners to go check out a web site or a story, that activity is now all on Facebook, Twitter, Google+. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackeducation.com\/\">HackEducation<\/a> does a weekly post of news. I am thinking about doing something similar for the things I would normally just share.<\/p>\n<p>First, other sites tend to die. Ping.fm screwed me by my not understanding their technology. By using it to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ezrasf.com\/wplog\/2009\/02\/07\/cross-seeding-the-clouds\/\">cross-post<\/a>, every link and every image used their shortened URLs. When they lost the database, every link and image was broken. I think <a href=\"http:\/\/ifttt.com\/\">ifttt.com<\/a> works better, so I have it making a backup of this blog at\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ezrasf.wordpress.com\/\">ezrasf.wordpress.com<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/sneezypb.posterous.com\">sneezypb.posterous.com<\/a>. (Well, except the tags do not go over.)<\/p>\n<p>Second, I can control the format and quotes better on this blog than social media.\u00c2\u00a0Sometimes I wish I had quoted more of an article when it disappears behind the paywall, is moved, or removed.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it would be good for me to spend more time thinking about things before I post. About a tenth the things I intend to post on this blog, I give up on posting and instead share on social media. I feel like there is more thought and intention that goes into a blog post.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Originally this post started before Christmas. I had it scheduled for today. Setting the goal for the year ought to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog has suffered from my sharing on social media.
