Thanks Euan!

Interesting that you've got GTD on your list. I've been wrestling with how I manage my various inboxes lately, which is probably my version of the same thing. Feeling I'm up-to-date and communicating well with friends and colleagues has become an important part of managing my mind.

I'm still surprised not to see blogging on your list though. :-)

"Do we need a self appointed umbrella organisation with its own sponsorship etc in order to tackle this particular question?"

Do you mean a bunch of people who decided to do something rather than not, did so in a loosely coordinated way, and decided to get help with space and hospitality?

Maybe, maybe not but it sits somewhere on a spectrum between expecting everything to sort of work out all right in the end if we all do our own thing at one end and believing that nothing happens if people aren't organized at the other.

I don't know the answer myself.

I've read that last sentence a couple of times now.

What this is all about:

It's all about finding better ways of deciding where the high ground is.

So the big point apparently, is all about refining some decision making processes.

Do we need a self appointed umbrella organisation with its own sponsorship etc in order to tackle this particular question?

I'm still listening.

This is wonderful feedback that you're getting. Very important for speaking!

Great blog.

I can't believe that you don't advertise at all.

Many blessings.

Sorry for the frustrations here, Euan -- we did get your feedback and the good news is the TypePad Connect team is working feverishly on a whole bunch of upgrades for the service. I'm sure we'll get to all of your requests over time. :)

Me too.

The feedback I gave them was as follows:

The presentation of the comments on my blog is too clunky and not configurable enough. Almost every comment triggers a scroll bar and this is partly made worse by the fact that the images are bigger than they need to be and I can't choose a smaller size.

Despite the fact that I tried three times to update my profile the changes were never recorded either on the Connect profile page itelf or as the image icon for my comments on my blog.

The fact that I now have two pages to manage comments, the blog management page and the connect page, is a bit of a pain and the connect page hasn't picked up all of my comments even on my own blog!

I know this is in beta and I am not being negative but having waited forever for Typepad to do something cool and having been on the brink of the non-trivial move to Wordpress or a while it was frustrating to get all excited about TypePad Connect and then have to de-install it so fast!

I really want Typepad Connect to work, and I'm considering downgrading my blog from its advanced templates.

I totally agree Russell and once Six Apart have got this working I'll add it again to the blog. I had even been considering the pain of moving domains and software to move to Wordpress and Disquss just to get the functionality you speak of. Hopefully I now won't have to.

Must confess that after returning to blogging after a gap, the tech used in linking different blogging platforms has moved on in both positive and perplexing ways. I'm looking forward to when this all becomes a bit more interoperable between the Typepads and Wordpresses of this world.

This is more about a regime silencing dissenting voices than anyone being a terrorist Jakbop.

I'd like to know if he was a spy for israel, because if so, that's despicable, given corruption. If he is, then I hope he is punished with a severe rebuke, a term of anti-terrorism training , like the Saudi model, like how to be a good citizen without resorting to spying for corrupt branches of foreign governments, and other terrorist groups, etc.
He might better be shown kindness, and correction, with better rewards than sleazy incentives of agent provocateurs.

Euan, you sly dog. I know that all you're doing is riding the wave of a well-linked Wired meme so that whenever someone searches for the death of blogging, they land here and see all the dead people talking like they've been doing for the past seven years.

Hi Euan,

I've links to a couple of Wired articles about this in one of my old posts. Seems like there's a bit of momentum behind the 'death of the blog' idea in the tech press.

Cheers,

Alan

awful if true. In the west we're concerned about bloggers losing their job (and rightly so) but loosing your head is a different dimension. And even if he survives - it's a threat meant to silence others.
I live in Freiburg - the only german city with an official partnership with an iranian city (http://www.freiburg-isfahan.de/). It's tough - but still worthwhile - to keep contact with others.
