My current blogging policy

I publish everything here. It's easier to find, for one thing. It's also considerably prettier than what is behind the blue-and-white velvet rope, and these days that means something. I usually "share" this, but not always. Blogspot is the better bet, I'd say.

    Blogspot may not always be the hip platform, but after 20 years, I'd say it's been one of the most reliable platforms.

    Blogspot is WAY better than FB. I wish I'd done more on it, frankly. But Facebook looked so purty -- once! Facebook don't look pretty no more!

    It would be really interesting to see some straightforward account, from Alphabet / Google’s perspective, of Blogger’s significance in the portfolio — how it fits, how it works for the business these days and what they devote to maintaining it.

    About FB, recent thoughts …

    Nice! To your point, I suspect FB became radioactive once Zuck & Co's fingerprints could be clearly made out beneath mess.

    I wonder about the Google portfolio, too. Google has shut down Google News, G+ and Google Music, utterly without mercy. I am not a little nervous, TBH.

    You’d think if they didn’t see it fitting in somewhere, they would’ve sold Blogger off a while ago. Maybe the trouble of looking for a buyer and so on is an obstacle there, though? Anyhow, it seems like it would be a relatively painless thing to just eliminate, by comparison with something they appeared to see real significance in like G+, at least. And they haven’t. It’s interesting!

    I can appreciate the nervousness. For those with a long-established blogging practice / habit rooted here, I don’t know what I’d say might be a straightforward alternative if you had to jump. Maybe there is none.

    I suspect blogspot is a (relatively) inexpensive way for Google to collect links, especially outside of gmail. I will say this for Google -- they give plenty of advance notice before closing down a service -- in which case I ll switch to a service I have to pay for and post notice on blogspot.
