There have always been many reasons why I don't post as often as I'd like to, but...
Now there's a new one: Facebook.
The problem Blogdom has compared with Facebook is that a Facebook post takes about 30 seconds.
The very fact that it is limited to about six lines limits the amount of time I can spend crafting an entry. And, the nature of a Facebook entry is a quick status update, so, it is by definition, quick.
My Blogdom entries can take 20-30 minutes each, or even more.
The interface for making a Facebook entry is simple - whether I'm on my laptop or the Blackberry. And the post is instantaneous. With Blogdom, I must wait for the entry to not only post to the main page, but also to update all of the associated indexes on the blog. And even though I can use the web interface to make an entry (either on the laptop or the Blackberry) I really prefer to make them using Windows Live Writer so I have an independent database of entries on my PC in addition to the HTML and proprietary database both of which reside on the server.
Oh well, I guess those that are really interested in more frequent updates will have to add me as a Facebook friend.
