Both my tumblrs have been suspended. Bum. I thought they were quite good.
Actually it’s quite exciting, a real learning process for everyone. But a pain to have to recreate the content from out of Google cache. I nipped over to ezine and changed my pending article, although apparently you can edit teh bio after it’s published anyway. I’ve set up a couple of blogs elsewhere but not sure if Google likes the domain so much.
Trying to think of all the web2.o services I’ve tried out over the past three years or so, to find a good substitute. I was getting to like tumblr quite a lot.
Superglu? 43things?

Ed’s got a bit stressed over some bad practices happening, with resulting bad press on the blogs.
I wrote on the 30daychallengeblog:
I suppose if anybody puts on a free course about Internet Marketing, and then gets people to join Facebook etc where things can go viral pretty easily, then it’s always going to attract the sharks circling around where all of this juicy groundbait has been thrown out.
But Web2.0 is not a set of tools, it’s an attitude.
Keep putting out the white-hat philosophy message Ed, and it will keep the heart of this community on the right track. I’m reading that people are falling in love with their community already, and that’s a strong indicator.
Maybe also a warning that it’s a wild wild world out there, and that world overlaps with us, at least at the fringes.
