Multiple Blogging Rant
I just signed up for a Vox account. I also have a Myspace account, and Livejournal account. Plus the main focus of everything Crys related, my domain here at tawodi.org.
That’s 4 different places with the exact. same. purpose.
People think I’m crazy, but there is a method to my madness. Even if it’s slowly driving me insane.
My domain is all for me. It’s where I store everything, it’s where I post everything. I can make it look however I want, give access to certain posts to whoever I want, it’s the big tom tom of the entire basket of blogging goodies.
Livejournal is for both internet and online friends to keep track of my posts. Everyone (including myself) checks their “friends” pages all the time, so it’s easier to keep track of what all your friends have posted on one convenient page. Rather than having to go to each persons journal or domain individually. So I essentially post there for the convenience of my friends.
Myspace is purely for my real friends to either 1. find me (I found a lot of people I haven’t seen since I was 16) or 2. they aren’t very internet savvy and just heard about this cool thing called myspace, so they signed up and it’s all they know how to use. The second one actually seems to be quite true…sadly enough. It’s the hip thing for the non-hip computer illiterate folks. No offense 
Vox……….I have no clue. I’m just hopping on the bandwagon like I did with my gmail account I’ll never use but have anyway just in case.
I just get annoyed sometimes having to keep up with all these new programs and software. I suppose it’s good for a web developer to keep track of these things and familiarize with them. You’d be surprised to find out out that some companies, even medical facilities, are starting to request using things like Wordpress and such for their sites now. In fact the first site I ever had to program at my new job uses Wordpress for their RSS feeds. It’s a good thing I decided to switch to it last year from Movable Type 
What sucks the most is having to post all of my entries individually to each individual one. There’s a plugin for Wordpress that should automatically post to my Livejournal for me, but I haven’t been able to get it to fully work yet. It’d be nice if someone would develop one for Myspace and Vox too, so all I have to do is post to my domain.
