Get Your Own Blog. Well, Perhaps I May...

Cool Papa Bell — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 09:20:39 -0800

Etiquette call: Using one's own comments on one's own blog? Let's say I started my own blog. On my blog, in addition to other content, I decide to "graduate" some of my MeFi comments to my own blog, where, theoretically, they get a different audience. For example, in yesterday's Palin thread, I decide to reprint my own comment on my own blog, sans anyone else's content, and linking to the freely available Washington Post column that the post linked to. I would be diligent in ensuring that only my MeFi contribution would be re-posted this way. Kosher or no? I can see valid arguments on either side.

The Follow-Up Thread

churl — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:11:16 -0800

I thought I'd gather together some follow-up links for various things I thought were worth following up on since they were originally posted to the blue. Some things worth checking out, but not individually meaty enough for a whole new FPP. Dave Secretary of TIME FOR SOME STORIES fame has started a blog with even more ALL CAPS delight. [original post] Cursor*10 got an excellent sequel: Cursor*10 [2nd session]. [original post] You Suck At Photoshop now has total of 21 episodes up on YouTube, in two "seasons" -- season one and season two, as well as the (less-inspired) offshoot Sn4tchbukl3r's Second Chance. [original post] Bad News Hughes has closed up shop, and Patrick Hughes can now be found blundering through "adulthood" at The Domesticated Shithead. [original post] Shane Acker's "9" is finally scheduled for theatrical release, on 9/9/09. Trailer is here. [original post] Bill Hicks' previously unaired 1993 Letterman appearance was, as promised, finally aired on the January 30, 2009 episode of The Late Show. Parts one, two, and the actual routine in part three, are on YouTube. [original post] This American Life released a third radio episode on the economy. Episode 375: Bad Bank reunites Alex Blumberg and NPR’s Adam Davidson, to continue in the vein of 355: The Giant Pool of Money and 365: Another Frightening Show About the Economy. [original post and follow-up] Jan Van Den Hemel and Andrew Hussie's Star Trek: TNG Mashups have been joined by two Back to the Future mashups: BTTF - temporal experiment numbers One and Two, as well as continuing the original mission with numbers 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. [original post] Finally, my favorite: Fifty People, One Question now has four wonderful videos up. You can find One, Two, Three, and Four on Vimeo. [original post] A couple others can be found under the followup tag. I'm sure there's lots more.

Are you down? Are you sure? Are you really sure?

Hard copy

nax — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:55:09 -0800

My MetaFu is failing me. Where's the post (answer?) about the website that helps you turn your blog into a hard copy book. Did I dream it?

National Lampoon's Palestinian Vacation

WCityMike — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:56:50 -0800

Mefi's Own Baby_Balrog: "Stephen and I traveled to Bilin, near Ramallah, on Friday. [...] IDF soldiers began firing CS gas canisters and rubber-coated steel bullets at the marchers [...] here's a video of me running away when the soldiers started firing gas canisters [...] I had my jump kit with me and tried to help a few people [...]" He's writing a pretty fascinating blog.

Huffington Post, Lifehacker, Metafilter

Metafilter is ranked #3 (is it a ranking?) on Time Magazine's first annual blog index. The full list on one page (via Valleywag).

Is tombola breaking the guidelines by posting a blog post from a site for which he is an editor? The Chernobyl dry cleaning post seemed a bit off to me, so I looked a little closer. It might be an edge case, but it seems wrong to link to a blog post when you are employed as an editor by the website on which the post appears. Blogs would probably be the responsibility of the communities editor, which is tombola's position at the Times Online. That said, tombola's posting history reveals that four of his fourteen posts are links to blog posts on the Times Online site (and another contains a supplementary link to a blog post on the site), another four are other links to the Times Online site, and two are links to tombola's musicthing blog (which, I'll be the first to admit, is a great site, but is clearly a self-link).

Huh. So the blog of a certain Mr. Language Hat is linked in the sidebar at the Village Voice books section (under "Bookmarks") now? Is this old news? Did I miss something? Cheers for Mr. Hat, in any case.

Pentagram's Paula Scher diagrams the lifecycle of a blog post (via NYT op-ed.). Who'll do the MeFi variant(s)?

Consequences of FPP'ing a blog of someone in Iraq

insomnia_lj — Sat, 25 Sep 2004 06:19:39 -0800

I dislike it when friends of mine in Iraq are accidentally FPP'ed, when I know for a fact that they could potentially get in trouble for even having a weblog and depend upon "anonymity through numbers" to get away with it.

1> Could this link be fixed to point to the true link?

2> Can we establish some kind of method to quote/reference content that cannot, for security reasons, be linked to? Could a few trusted individuals, for example, check out sources/links of material privately?

For instance, I regularly read things in soldier's private journals that I cannot and will not link to because it could get the people in question into serious trouble. I would like to share such things, but if the links become public, then the sources face having their lives destroyed.

What is YOUR vision of MetaFilter?

squirrel — Sun, 13 Apr 2003 17:35:27 -0800

Fulfilling the MetaFilter Promise. What is your vision of what the MetaFilter (and MetaTalk) project could be or should be? Those here tend to agree that this enterprise is important, so why is it so? What is MetaFilter doing and what might it do? As an exercise in originality, consider posting your ideas before reading the others. (Disclaimer: I'm writing a thesis on Blog Communities, and this one's my fave).

Blog service that lets users participate via email?

stevefromsparks — Wed, 05 Mar 2003 11:53:25 -0800

I need to pick MeFier's brains and I guess this is the place to do it.
I belong to a mailing list that has an absolutely horrible archive. There's great information in the archive that's next to impossible to dig out.
The solution seems to be to switch to something like a blog. But Movable Type, as far as I can tell, doesn't allow people to participate both on a blog-type page and by email, does it?
Can any MeFiers tell me of a blog-type program that also sends out posts as emails and lets people respond via email?
Thanks in advance for any help and I apologize if this is too off topic.

List of MeFite blogs

vraxoin — Wed, 26 Feb 2003 15:49:06 -0800

I've looked in the FAQ, the Wiki, riffola's user page, and nowhere can I find a comprehensive list of MeFiers' blogs. Does such a thing exist? If not, should such a thing exist? I think a portal showing recent entries from MeFiers' blogs could be nearly as entertaining as MeFi itself.

Recommend a free weblog site

How do I deal with a cease and desist letter to my blog?

popvulture — Wed, 29 May 2002 02:00:15 -0800

After 5 years online publishing hundreds of pages of content, my personal site poprocks.com has received a cease and desist letter from Barcelona candy company Zeta Espacial. I write about pop culture, and I am identified with the domain, personally and professionally. I have never tried to sell the domain to anyone, nor have I ever had its value appraised. Do I have any hope?

Why do people engage in Google-bombing?

Irontom — Wed, 15 May 2002 09:47:30 -0800

Why do people feel so thoroughly justified about engaging in Google bombing?

Why is your opinion about something so important as to justify monkeywrenching the best search engine (if not the best thing) on the net? Why is your self-righteous indignation more important that leaving well enough alone?

If it is so important to you, why don't you build something equivalent with the specific aim of "educating the people" and stop piggybacking off of Google?

I am interested in Matt's opinion on this, since he's one of the ones that set this whole thing off.
