When Feedster was alive and well last year I used it a lot. Today it has been reborn, but it is definitely a shell of it’s former self. Trying some standard search terms I follow resulted in what I would consider semi-relevant search results.
I am sick and tired of reading blog articles on such sites as Engadget that clearly were sourced from another site and then search in vane within the article trying to find the source article.
I have been waiting a long time for SixApart to make the quantum jump and from everything I have read they are finally going to compete in a big way with Wordpress.
I caught wind that the folks at SixApart removed over 500 LiveJournals in an attempt to reduce the amount of adult oriented material on the network. I am personally pretty shocked that they actually went in an removed the journals.
I understand their are a lot of emotions out their considering the mean and hurtful things some people directed at some women Bloggers. But in all honesty at this point in the game I am pretty thick skinned. I survived the days of flaming on Bulletin Board Systems, that makes some of the stuff that has been written on the net lately seem pretty tame. I don’t excuse the behaviour or writings but I also understand it comes with the territory.
I did not get the congratulations out their yesterday but I wanted to congratulate Dave on 10 years of Blogging and I want to thank him for his leadership in Blogging, RSS and Podcasting.
When I re-launched this site I did so with the intent of giving MovableType six more months to get their act together. To be honest with you I probably should have ditched the application some time ago.
