unless, that is you’re a blogger: Why your Movable Type blog must die. I have to say I agree with one part of this unfair but uniquely passionate rant: that Google is becoming overwhelming influenced by weblogs and their often incorrect and misplaced thoughts, ideas, recommendations, and suggestions, including this one. Thanks, V!
No problem for the tip – but it may be time for Google to add a ‘Blog’ tab to their ‘Search Results’ page. The number of times that I’ve been waylaid onto someone’s blog while I was searching for something is less than 25%, but then again, whatever I found was generally informative.
Interestingly, it seems to me that blogs redistribute knowlege and information into more specialized niches (are end-users the new librarians?), but only if all of that information is aggregated on the same blog – not that it isn’t the role of search-engines to do deep site searches, but all of the information is easier to find, and part of the author’s meme-set if it is all pre-assembled on the same RSS feed.
But if I were you, I would look into the kinds of back-end demands that MT is making on your server…
Sergey Brin commented that in the near future they wouldn’t be treating blogs any differently (In davos)
Interesting. FYI, Loïc Le Meur’s WebLog posts more about blogging at Davos. A quote here states that this year the barbarians were not protesting at the gates of the World Economic Forum; they were inside and blogging.
