I guess this is the best place to start a fresh. Blogoforum has come a long way. The new look is kinda interesting, though I still have to get used to it. :) Somewhere in the recent past I stopped having conversations across the web. One of the primary reason for this was my shift to a career in media, specifically as a Radio Jockey in a local Radio Station here. One of the other reasons was I bought a domain and started my own blog - though, I don't post there too frequently either. :D The one problem that repeatedly comes back to me in all the trawls of the web, is the scattering of my conversations across the place. Comments, Blogs, Profiles, Identities, all of these exist in varied numbers and in various stages of lethargy. Haviung a centralised identity system is scary - at least, I perceive it that way. The other alternative, as I see it, would be to group individual elements in a unique place, while allowing the other identities to flourish as they are. I see that potential here at Blogoforum. To start with, for example, if I could simply pull my RSS feeds here, but at the same time keep a link back to my main blog so that people could return there to comment, it would render my existence so much simple. With most of the web 2.0 start-ups and players accepting XML as a universal 'language' maybe that could be a potential USP for Blogoforum. Maybe I am rambling, but maybe there's a gold mine in that idea. Anyone care to take that up? - 1 reply Mon, 09 Jul 2007 07:45:08 GMT http://blogoforum.com/tag/2.0+blogoforum+cross-pollination+idea+rss+web+xml/pulling-in-rss-feeds-7910.html http://blogoforum.com/tag/people+personal/re-hi-there-5480.html Sorry for the extremely delayed reply, Things were a whirlwind for me during the this year-transition. I ended up winning a local Radio Jockey hunt and joined the Radio station as a Trainee. At the same time I switched jobs and now I am working as Tech Writer for a company called Pure IT Usability Research. Somewhere around the same time, I acquired my own domain, 42 Quirks (http://42quirks.com) and keep posting to it pretty frequently. So things have been moving pretty fast for me, and I have barely had the time to catch my breath. What's Blogoforum up to these days? What are you up to these days?

There are some new things on the block that I am dying to try out. There are some old ones too that I am pleased to see :) And I am really glad Denis has found the time to implement some of our zany suggestions. What started off as a simple tool to converse freely, has grown into an interesting forum with some really interesting results. Thi8ngs seem to have stagnated recently, and I apologize for not being so active. In my defense, I will offer no excuses. I have myself to blame. But the past is past and we have a new future to look ahead. My best wishes to you Denis and team. A loud shout to y'all out there. Keep visiting folks!

It's still half-baked so those who want to try - expect blank screen and such. This is first test post under my name.
