A Brief Flirtation With Social Media

By Jon Roemer On 3 Dec ’09 · Leave a Comment

For the past few weeks I had a ShareThis button on the blog. First on posts viewed singly and then on all posts displayed on the home page. ShareThis allows readers to forward content to other services (email, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) I went with ShareThis because visually it was the least noxious of [...]

A Conspiracy of Blog Comments

By Jon Roemer On 1 Dec ’09 · Leave a Comment

I know another photographer who named his blog, Zero Comments. I think that’s a great name.

TypePad Finale

By Jon Roemer On 20 Nov ’09 · Leave a Comment

I heard back from Six Apart this afternoon (see the prior post for the beginning of this story.)  They did delete my TypePad account.  While that’s great, their excuse for the current set up at TypePad (forcing all users, without their consent, into accounts which cannot be deleted) is that a “delete everything” button has [...]

TypePad Gets Ugly: Hidden Policies Affect Users If They Attempt To Leave

By Jon Roemer On 20 Nov ’09 · 1 Comment
