A few years ago I might have agreed. Then FB started choking their content. A few years ago, when I posted on my blog, it automatically went to FB and got sent to ALL my friends. That was good and I thought, why will anyone subscribe to my blog? All the content is over here.

Then the auto-post option went away. Then my posts started going to less than 10% of my followers unless I paid up what would amount to $20,000 a year or more!

And at least on myspace you could get a "view posts since I was last here" sort of thing.

Now, back to the core. It is still best to maintain a website and a blog. It is still best to subscribe to the blogs you like.

Email lists are good too, but, I just sent out to my list of 178 and at least 25% bounced back due to some sort of spam engine.

And now, in order to try to get word out about the new mug I am reduced to "spamming" FB. Post it here and there and there and here again and hope that eventually everyone sees it somehow... Please notice my signature. Please.
