Drupal vs. "The Blog" meme

I started writing this as a response to one writer on the Drupal Developers mailing list and it's gotten to what Elisa Camahort has described on mailing lists as the 2 paragraph rule : If it is more than 2 paragraphs, it needs to go on the blog. Grock knows I break that rule ALL THE TIME. Yet, I feel this response needs to be more public and so, I'm following Ms. E's advice.

Waking up to a digital sharecropping world

Digital Share-cropping is a term that has been on my mind a lot lately. Digital sharecropping is the exact equivalent of it's land-based agrarian counterpart. You give the means of production to the many while holding complete ownership over what's produced.

Facebook has emerged as the perfect example of that :

The hot sexiness of ScribeFire

I've been on a warpath for about a year now, looking for leaner and meaner blogging tools. I have been particularly obsessed with the possibility of using one interface in order to post on several blogs, if not at once then at least as tightly in tandem as possible.

Ecto seemed to the that tool but it is not optimized for Drupal users. Meaning, I can post to a Drupal site but I would have to edit the post from within the site in order to add categories --and that's part of the reason why I have been looking for a remote or semi-remote solution.

The truemor about bloggers

I have a very low opinion of the blogosphere. I think it is made up of about 250,000 people who are mostly 45-year-old men who live with their mother and have dead cats in their refrigerators.

    Afterthoughts

    The technology blogosphere is like a giant dog that is forever chasing its tail - except when it stops to lick its netherparts.
