What i want when blogging?
- Free Hosting (free as in really for free, not cents and not having to setup some Jekyll or whatever)
- Posts
- Comments
- Gallery
- "About me"
I get all this plus the benefit of a locatioan-aware posts on my mobile, social network, groups, messaging, single sign on with my mail, calendar, docs, youtube, etc.
Also, in my experience my Google+ stream has a pretty high quality of posts.
Oh, and as i said, the Google Buzz-like location thing is nice, too.
And i get Twitter like public posts/streams. Following particular persons is nice. Befriending some page on Facebook is 90% of the time a subscription to advertisement in your stream. I, for example, follow a lot of photographers on google plus and it's nice, because the photo capabilites are nice, the posts are excellent and it makes my personal stream even better.
On the other hand, i "follow" some pages of bands or cities or games i like on facebook and it's basically ads in my facebook stream with the occasional interesting post.
Why not follow these photographers on facebook? Because it didn't "just happpen". On Google plus some people share the circles and voila, there we go with interesting persons (persons, not companies!). Now i have also quite a lot of googlers and musicians i'm following and it's mostly been only interesting personal posts.
Why not facebook? It's security/sharing settings are just too cumbersome. Setting up how my plus account looks like for friends, workmates and the whole world was intuitive, easy and fast.
That said: For me, Google Plus is so much better then Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook combined.
- dextorious 15y ago"""- Free Hosting (free as in really for free, not cents """ Yes, because a few cents, or, god forbid!, a dollar a month are totally too much for having total control over your content.
- buster 15y agoNo, but the hazzle to pay and setup and maintain a server/software is worth more then a few cents, at least for me. Especially if what i would build with Jekyll wouldn't hae the benefits of a hosted service elsewhere.
