Barcamp 2 – day 2 – Saturday morning roundtable for bloggers
Got up a little late today, but finally arrived at ATDC for Day 2 of Barcamp. Sitting in on a discussion about blogging. Folks are talking about what they blog about and what platform. WordPress seems to be the most popular. Drupal is mentioned, but generally considered overkill if all you are doing is blogging.
One guy has a blog written in the voice of his dog. Is also considering an anonymous blog about an honest take from an entrepreneur’s perspective.
Some folks are using them for technical posts, and putting youtube videos up. Michael Mealing uses Drupal for some of the space industry realated blogs, but they are not blog only communities – moght drop Drupal for something more email friendly.
We have a Chyrp user – similar to Tumblr – very spontaneous. Aggregator for things he is looking at.
Discussion is moving to platforms and hosts. WordPress stays on top.
Plug-ins can add value.
Question about Google Gears in WordPress, but nobody knows the answer this morning.
Much kudos for Akismet anti-spam.
