Facebook, twitter and the mighty Eagles

I promise not to mention Facebook again after this post - at least not today.

If you're reading this via the wonderful notes facility on FB, then great, feel free to add comments, as long as they're nice. If you want the full experience then why not go to the actual blog site and read or comment there, this is:

http://geoffrogers.blogspot.com

And if you don't follow me yet on Twitter, feel free to do so, just follow the username 'geoffrodgers'. It's actually quite amazing how much you can find out using Twitter, and another post later will explain why from being very unexcited and bored by it I now find it really useful and fun to use. The Twitter site is at:

http://www.twitter.com

There are a lot of desktop programs for Windows, MacOS and Linux that you can use to send and receive 'Tweets' as well as alternative web access, which I'll talk about later. Look out for the keyword 'twitter' in the post as well as in the label.

I'll get me coat now, almost time to think about cooking dinner before settling down to watch footie on the TV - Palace v Man City in the Carling Cup.. Come on you Eagles!

My thoughts - why I'm here

Having been using Twitter for a while now, am acutely aware of how concise and brief you need to be in each tweet. Sometimes (often) I have rambling thoughts which I want to get over to people and one thought was to use Facebook and 'My notes'. However that means that you would not only need to be a Facebook member, but also following me to read my ponderings. So I've gone back to the idea of a personal blog. I did try this some years ago, hosting the software myself on my own server, but with the good people of Google around and able to do almost anything but make the tea, it seemed obvious to use blogger... with my own domain name of course.

I don't know how much or how often I'll be writing here. Some days it may be constant and then no more for ages... Whatever, this is the platform I'll be using to waffle about all things I'm interested in.

And if you're reading this via Facebook, it means I've figured out how to link it.
