Shifts in habits

Losing Firefox has caused some major shifts in online behavior, because it was my main gateway both online as well as for use of some offline tools. I'm still adjusting to them, casting about for some substitutes and options that I've lost in the change.

But it's also causing changes in areas that aren't directly affected.

One is the use of this site to do more of my mini-blogging. There'll be less social-media sharing from here, since the world already sees too much of me that way, as it is.

So if you really want to keep up with me, sign up to this site, as well as my main blog. Here, you'll get all the small stuff; there the bigger items.

That's all for now!

Easing off Posterous

The recent purchase of Posterous by Twitter and the vague and ominous notice lead one to conclude that Posterous isn't going to be developed further and may even be discontinued.

That glum prospect means I'll not be posting any exclusive material to Posterous for now. If the new owners reveal a positive path for the site, we'll reconsider. Until then, this blog will be used mainly for links and crossposting from my Friendica account.

For the real content, therefore, sign up to my primary weblog, Walking with God, and follow my Friendica status. (Get the scoop here on Friendica.) There are going to get the lion's share of my attention on personal subjects.

To keep up with me generally, FriendFeed does a good job, in spite of now being owned by the reviled and revered FB.
