Hmmm...should we migrate or move on?

It seems Blogger now requires a Google Account from its users. I'm loathe to make everyone who uses this site get another account so Google can track your movements around the web and market things to you, so I'm thinking of ending this blog and setting up a new one attached to my .Mac account.

There are several ramifications of this. Only I'll be able to initiate discussions (though I can set it up to receive comments). I'm sure .Mac isn't entirely innocent of tracking, but it won't require a password to participate in the conversation, but the .Mac site has a terrible URL. And I'm not sure anyone cares in the first place.

So please comment about this before January 22 when I'll announce the decision. Thanks.

Hi G.,
No matter what the blog ends up being...I hope the recent MFA folks will be invited to participate. I have a gmail account and tons of invites if anyone wants another "google" account to continue with the current blog. My experience has been just fine with gmail...no weird spam or sales junk. Keep me posted on how I can still play with you guys!!!
Best,
Terri

P.S.
If I had some thesis images...is it too late to post on the thesis blog? Melinda's boyfriend, Conrad, took some shots for me. They came out great. I believe he wants to make students aware of his photo taking skills for hire!

hey...I care. But I don't have a definitive opinion either way so that's no help to you.

Hey, I care. I would've posted earlier but I don't have a definitve opinion either way! It is a pain to make people sign up for the new google account, but I already have anyway. And if you're afraid the new url is too complicated then you might wanna stay here.
