Go Daddy has a hosted blogging product called Quick Blog and I’m one of its developers. I think we’ve got a really compelling package and we’re constantly developing.

I got fed up with Blogger and moved my two blogs to WordPress on my own server. So far the experience is good, though going back and editing old entries can be very slow. That said, it’s better than dealing with the many FTP problems that Blogger has had recently.

good question aaron. the problem is blogger will continue to generate splogs whatever platform you use. on the other hand – every little helps. what are you looking at? hosted, free? what are your constraints. we use MT. a lot of people swear by WordPress.

I’ve been experiencing Blogger issues of late and so following up from this, what do you think should be the blogging platform of choice? I’m interested in recommendations.

Blogger, spam, and why I wrote my first blogging app

In days of yore, before Donkey was published using movabletype, I wrote an application to publish this blog. Like most of the software I’ve created, it was pretty rubbish, but in fairness, it did support three growing blogs well enough…

Now just why do you think Google is going to deal with spam when nearly all of it is trying to sell you something that I’d bet good money is being paid for by AdWords in the first place.

GOOG may say ‘Do No Evil’ but look who’s running the shop. Do you ever remember Schmitty being anythning other than a hard assed businessman? And don’t you think he’s got just enough ego to want to beat the crap out of Ballmer?

Could be a long wait – unless of course this makes it to Tech.me-me-orandum. But hey – let’s give that a go with a few choice links.

Indeed, and explain to me also why Blogger doesn’t offer an RSS feed as standard…
