I decided to start importing my Google Reader shared items directly into this blog using FeedWordPress.
The reason for this change is that my blog has always served as a repository for examples and material to use in class. Currently my shared items are broadcast only through Reader itself, and through Buzz, but everyone I tell to use Buzz looks at me like a cultist. In any case, it would be nice to have access to the material without signing into my Google account. That means a lot of stuff posted here won’t be my own writing, but it will be clearly marked as not my own, and will be tagged as autoblogging. I’ll still post my own occasionally, but it would be nice to have my blog active in at least some capacity instead of just sitting dead.
I used to import my blog posts onto Facebook, but I don’t want to overload the news stream with my shared items, so I’ve stopped importing into Facebook. That means when I write a post by hand, I’ll have to bring it to Facebook manually; but that’s ok because I’m not writing much anymore anyway. And I don’t expect Facebook to stick around much longer.
This might result in some of my (two) readers receiving multiple copies of my posts in various media streams. If it is annoying and there is anything I can do to help it, let me know.
