Today I broke down and manually moved my old blog posts that were created in WordPress and hosted by Yahoo into Blogger hosted on Google. Yes, I know, there are probably automated ways to do this. In fact, I found one, but it required installing Python and other stuff. Since I only have a handful of posts on the old blog site, I just copied/pasted them into Blogger.
So, if you are one of the incredible throng of my followers (:))) you will see a bunch of posts at the head of my blog that appear to have been created Feb. 22, 2009. In fact they are from September and October of 2008. I tried to note that as I moved them, but may have missed a few.
As a further testament to my mid to behind curve connection with new communication and information technology, I got a Twitter account last night. I happened to flip to a CSPAN interview with one of the Twitter founders, Evan Williams, and figured I might as well try it out. I was able to hook up with at least one person I know who has been a Twitter-er for a while and a few celebrity types including George Stephanopholous (sp?), John McCain, Ashton Kutchner and Dave Winer.
My take on Twitter up until now, is "why would anyone want to do that?". Of course, after less than 24 hours of usage, I am starting to reconsider that, as I dip in my little toe. A new veil appears to be lifting, but I will have to comment in a later blog after a few days or more of usage. Need to get hooked up on SMS to really appreciate, I think (gotta make sure I have unlimited texting first though :))
