The first full day of the Science Writers 2009 conference will be hard to top. I’m exhausted, but I feel like I am taking a lot of really excellent information away from the sessions I attended today.
Today I moved my blog to wordpress.com, so that it’s easier to update. With iWeb, you have to be on the computer where you created the site in order to update the blog. This isn’t exactly conducive to free flowing expression. So I’m using wordpress.com for the blog, and leaving the other pages on iWeb, with links between the two. With WordPress, I can even upload the blog from my iPhone, if the mood strikes.
Today, GovLoop, the ning-based social networking site for government communities, announced that is has been bought out by GovDelivery, a for-profit, government communications service provider.
Upon hearing this, I deleted my account, because it just feels a bit icky to talk about communications issues on a social network owned by a company trying to get business solving those issues.
