As I’ve used G+ more the last week, I’ve real­ized the ser­vice that feels the most redun­dant is my Tum­blr account (on the cus­tom domain http://​www​.quack​quack​.org). I start­ed the Tum­blr because I want­ed some­thing more “mine” than Face­book, a place where my pho­tos and links would live inde­pen­dent­ly. But how sil­ly – Tum­blr is just a host­ed ser­vice that I ulti­mate­ly have no con­trol over.

So what’s dif­fer­ent with G+ and Face­book? I think it’s the sense that Google will archive things. It feels like every­thing dis­ap­pears after it ages off of the FB feed. #blog

  1. Agreed about dis­ap­pear­ing on FB. It was my under­stand­ing a month ago or so that FB was “about” to roll out an archival fea­ture that you would have one week to scrub, and then you would not be able to change stuff, for the most part. It was being beta test­ed by tech blog­gers, one of whom gushed about it over­much. Haven’t heard much about it since.

  2. Yes, I remem­ber, it includ­ed the make-over the pro­file page to be photo-friendly. There was all this talk about mak­ing it a mini-bio of your life, etc.
