I wonder the same thing. I didn't register with Xanga to read a blog, I don't think I'm going to register with Mindsay to read your other one. Why post behind a wall that most people can't get behind — unless there's something super cool over there that we don't know about. They'll tell you it's all about “creating community” but don' believe it. It's about directed marketing. Stay free Rich — don't hide your posts on Mindsay!
Several of the students I know have blogs there. A few times I encountered problems with blogger and so in frustration I posted at my minday space (created when I became a member to read their stuff).
Then I realized that over there I can see who is hitting (though maybe not reading) my stuff and could keep that in mind in terms of content.
But at this point likely I will continue to use this a my main blog. I guess I'll get those 9/11 thoughts and post them here, too.
Says I have to register to even *read* your mindsay blog. Is there a good reason for being over there?
