Ken Ronkowitz :: Blog :: Eduspaces as Mirror

May 15, 2007

I have been using this space to pull from my actual blogging spot at http://devel2.njit.edu/serendipity/ which is my EdTech blog called Serendipity35.

I started using Elgg just to see what it could do but since I already have 2 regular blog spots, I knew I couldn't sustain a third one. Hence the RSS feed pulling my entries from Serendipity35.

Now I'm feeling a bit guilty about only using this space as a "mirror" of the other blog's content.

Honestly, S35 gets a good amount of traffic, trackbacks, comments and carries some "authority" on Technorati. This Eduspaces version does not.  And do I want it to do that?

Actually, I may be diluting my readership or just making it confusing by having it in 2 places.

So, I'm taking down the RSS pull today. That means this site will go into hibernation for a bit (even though it's spring here in NJ-USA).

I'd like to think that perhaps I could use THIS space to blog on a flavor of EdTech (like my recent job change to a K-20 world) but that seems too time-intensive - plus, I can do that on Serendipity35 too.

Technorati says there are 70+ million blogs out there, but the real question is how many are active?   I don't want this to just be another dead node in the blogosphere.
