You might have noticed that I haven't been blogging quite as often as I used to. Well, in one sense, I've actually been doing a lot more than I used to, but unless you're on Facebook, it wouldn't be that apparent to you.
Since I began playing with Facebook earlier this year, I've just found that it's an even easier way to share info than conventional blogging. For instance, if I'm in the middle of something, but get a google alert about something I think is really cool, I can simply snag the URL and pop it on my "Wall" in Facebook in seconds, whereas I'd have to stop, sign in, write, make links, etc. in my usual blogging environment (admittedly, not one of the friendlier ones out there).
Because it's so darn easy, I do it -- and my Facebook profile reflects that with plenty of recent postings that I didn't have time to write about in my blog. Better yet, any postings I make here in my blog are automatically pulled into my Facebook profile, so folks can read my blog and all that other random stuff in one place. I also tend to snag videos and other content in Facebook as well, so it's more comprehensive.
So bottom line is that I will continue conventional blogging (as well as my newsletter), but if you'd like to read more or be more up to date or see what else has attracted my attention in the genealogical world, join Facebook (it's free, but you have to register) and invite me to be one of your "friends." Then you can view my profile and the genealogical mash-up I have going there any time you like.
