Das Wired Earth Blog geht offline!

Ja, so ist es. In wenigen Tagen geht das Wired Earth Blog offline.
Die Gründe sind nicht nur die zunehmend unsichere rechtliche Lage der Blogger in Deutschland, sondern vor allem die technische Entwicklung.

Als ich Ende 2005 dieses Blog einrichtete, sah man die Ära der normalen, privaten Webseiten zu Ende gehen. Jetzt sehe ich dies wieder für Blogs in Deutschland. Genau wie die Web1.0-Sites, werden auch die Blogs nie mehr ganz verschwinden, aber der Weg wird wieder durch etwas Neues gewiesen. Microblogging hat bei mir groß eingeschlagen. Twitter, und vor allem Friendfeed, machen den Sinn eines normalen Blogs fragwürdig.

Deswegen werde ich eine "Zentrale" einrichten. Dort werden Friendfeed & Co. zusammenlaufen, und zwar nur auf Englisch. Die Domain und der Feed von wiredearthblog.com wird erstmal auf den Podcast zeigen, der weiterläuft. In wenigen Tagen wird das Blog deaktiviert, und bei mir privat gesichert und archiviert.

Wer meine Beiträge weiter verfolgen möchte, der kann dies auf verschiedenen Wegen tun:

• Beste Möglichkeit: Meinen Account Friendfeed besuchen. Dort gibt es alles, und ich kann sagen, dass schon seit Monaten meine Microblogging-Beiträge informativer sind, als es im alten Blog je war.
• Wer lieber Twitter bevorzugt, kann mich hier verfolgen.
• Und wer den RSS-Reader bevorzugt, der kann meinen RSS-Feed abonnieren.

Vielen Dank, dass ihr mein Blog besucht habt, und mir lange das Vertrauen ausgesprochen habt. So ein bischen traurig bin ich ja schon. Es geht eine persönliche Ära für mich zu Ende. Aber, das ist eben Evolution. Auf zu neuen Ufern... Das Netz ist weit und unendlich.

Wired Earth Blog Closing Its Doors!

Yes, that's right.
In a few days, the Wired Earth Blog will be offline.
The reasons is not only the unsecure laws for blogger in Germany, but more the technical development.

On end of 2005, when I set up this Blog, I could see the time of normal private Websites will be over. Now I see the same for Blogs in Germany. Just like with the Web1.0-Sites, Blogs will never die completely, but the overall way will be set to another path. Microblogging hits me big time. Twitter and Friendfeed are taking the sense of blogging.

Therefore, I will start a "Central". There, my Friendfeed & co. will come together. The domain and the feed of wiredearthblog.com will be redirected to my (german spoken) podcast. So this might not have a real interest if you speak english only. This Blog here will be deactivated and archieved at my home.

If you want my keep track of my new postings and actions, there are different ways:

• Best: Read and/or subscribe my account at Friendfeed. Everything will be there. For month, this have been my most effective place for my postings.
• If you prefer Twitter, you might follow me there.
• And if you use a RSS-Reader, you could subscribe the RSS-Feed.

Thanks a lot, for visiting my blog. You gave me your trust for years. I'm a little sad, overall. This is a chapter of my life, which ends here. But that is what evolution is all about. I move on to pastures new... the Net is wide and infinite.

I Blog, Therefore I Am... but where?

Where, and most important, how do you blog in 2009? Microblogging extends the way of blogging.

For me, it started in 2008. I made Friendfeed my main blogging platform, and integrated it a premier place in my regular blog. So, for long articles I still have a blog. And people keep urging on those microblogging services, that the time of blogging is over.
No, it just starts. It will change in 2009, but blogging is like shouting out your opinion. This never stops in a democracy. It only get new faces from time to time. From that point of view, the first bloggers were the ones who wrote and gave fliers to the people by hand.

Now, why is microblogging taking the power of normal blogs?

• more effective - you can put out more stuff in less time
• much easier - Write a short text, link a picture, and here we go
• socialised = more audience
• less legal problems

Lets take a look on the last point.
There are less legal problems on microblogging sites. Especially for some countries. First, you are not having a Website on that service. So, you are only responsible for a small part of your postings. Then it seems no one is bitching around, when linking/embedding photos or videos to a service like friendfeed of twitter. Try this at your blog, and the community will see your blood, when adding a "precious" photo to your article, unless it's under a Creative Commons-License. A big advantage for some European countries. The need of publishing you real (!) Name and address, doesn't seem to apply, and in fact, can't be applied at all.

All of these facts will help microblogging to get started in 2009. It's blogging without the hassle.
