So, in thinking about a new web presence for what I do, I thought about the state of today's technology. What are other folks doing, now, with "home pages"? One can do something on Facebook. There is Goole+. I actually have a personal home page that my website provider gives me (rcdanek.us). I can several sites living beneath that. GGP is actually still there in a way: rcdanek.us/ggp/archives.html gets you to our archives page.
Also, there are sites that provide blog services. This site lives on Blogger and I have Wordpress. (In fact, I had GGP on Wordpress for a while.)
Wait, there's more! As I do videos (which is what GGP is all about), and those videos have to live somewhere, I have the same questions to ask about services which present videos. I mostly use Blip TV. Lately, I found that I can syndicate off of Blip TV onto other sites. So, now, the Blip TV content shows up as a Podcast on iTunes. Sweet. I signed up to feed into Facebook and I'm sure Google+ will show up at some point.
I don't know if there's a winning strategy, but I find that I have to dabble in several places. Let's see...
- I have GGP under my rcdanek.us stuff.
- I have GGP on Wordpress. (It's actually what I'm using as my "official" home page for now)
- I have GGP on Facebook.
- I have GGP on Google+.
- I'm waiting for Twitter to open up with their pages (they've announced something).
- Most of my video streams are on Blip TV
- I have one video stream on Vimeo (I may have more later, you never know)
- I have links to Blip TV and Vimeo on the TIK website
And each time I release a new video, and get it uploaded, I have to worry about updating all these "sites".
Hmmmm.
