Pondering ...

Over the many years we have been on the internet (about twenty five), we have wondered why we seldom (usually never) get any comments or feedback to anything we do on the web (lots of comments when we use to post on Usenet).

We have came up with some possible hypothesis:
1) none of our stuff is interesting enough for anyone to make a comment
2) people feel their privacy will be compromised and may risk getting spam, etc. by making comments
3) people are to busy, and in too much of a hurry, to make a comment
4) people feel their comments are not important enough, or would be wasting our time
5) possibly that is just the way the web is
--- or perhaps there is no one out there?

We really do not know for sure. However, 1) Your privacy is safe, we really do not care who you are ;). 2) We seriously doubt anyone wasting their time looking at our stuff is too busy. 3) Your comments (or criticism) is just as important as anyone else's, and we have gobs of free time to kill. 4) If our stuff is really not interesting enough, please tell us so we will either try to find stuff that is, or else we will stop wasting our (and everyone else's) time. 5) It does seem that other people get feedback (or perhaps are creating their own).

Your comments are always welcome. Anyone can post comnents to this blog, even anonymously if you wish.

Another blog

Just an idea to set up this blog to post general offline, behind the scenes babble related to my website (and maybe some things of my life in general). Nothing all that specific, or overly interesting. More or less on a whim, since I already have the Blogger account, and now the cool Blogger app for easier posting. Haven't done much with the main amateur radio related blog for years (admittedly not been online for about six) So this may occasionally set abandoned as well, but then again, sometimes I do get an idea to babble or rant about something. Well, after reading how the nice folks at Google apperantly allows up to 100 blogs per account, I decided what the heck. I was only using one. And since my previous general blog account is no longer accessable, other than via posting by email, which doesn't give me any ability to correct mistakes in the post (and there are usually several). And that could be a big mess. Be warned, this blog will contain more babble than anything els

Social Media ?

Okay, I know there are many who like social media, but from a quick Google search I have to think that there is something not right there. Admittedly, my own experience, what little I have done, seems rather unproductive. I like seeing old friends and reading some of their postings (which actually seems few and increasingly farther between), but I often leave with a feeling worse than when I arrived. I enjoy blogging and maintaining my website, and even Twitter is not too bad (I mostly use it for broadcasting update notices), but Facebook just tends to leave a bad taste in my mouth. — I have not tried Tik Tok, or any other social media sites, but really don't plan to. I would usually say, maybe it's just me, but the search results tend to make me think otherwise.
