Internet Changes Everything

6 Months old

So ICE is coming up on 6 months old now. When I began, I was on Blogger, then moved to Typepad, and now running on Movable Type. MT has expanded the usefulness of the blog immensely because of categories, and their extensive XML library, which when combined with external plug ins provides a powerful tool, which will meet my needs for a while.

I started off with the concept of gathering information which I fond interesting in one place. The best part of blogging for me, is the ability to seamlessly capture other articles or information at the point of hearing/ reading it. Layer on the ability to voice my own opinion and reaction at the time, and thats all there is to my blog.

This replaces the old way of seeking out historical documents when I need something, but the blog makes information gathering seamless and easy.

My original premise was that internet has changed business models for ever, and while I now have only one caegory on that, the other categories seem to have evolved into representations of the changes which bring about the change to old business models.

So one of the attractions for me with MT is the ability to host the site and the data myself. After 6 months, and 311 posts, there is an immense body of knowledge here. Prior to blogs, I would have had all these thoughts, but they would have been fleeting, and later relegated to the "what was that about (insert idea here) again?"
