The Hypocrisy Weblog

IDG.se’s blog service has gone public, accompanied with three “professional bloggers” (Elisabeth Stjernstoft, Per Hellqvist and Niklas Andersson) and user-generated content on the side.

The site isn’t exactly a wonder of design or refinement, but it does it’s job and is pretty spot on when it comes to basic functionality.

If this will be a success or not is too early to say, however I am wondering if surfers – especially the IT-savvy segment – are interested in becoming an integral part of IDG’s traffic-generation and ultimately ad-sales.

The other day I got a “No More Invites” invitation from a friend on Facebook. I found really funny, especially as the same person is sending me everything from “Vampires” invitations to “Annoy your friends” dittos.

But to be a bit more serious for a second; The above is one of the weaknesses of Facebook – it is just too cluttered with information and by opting out from certain feeds, you risk missing information that might be vital to your e-social life.

There is a buzz about “Facebook’s user numbers are dropping”, however I believe this to be highly exaggerated. The leveling out of visitors, users and overall traffic is just natural after a period of rapid growth. If this didn’t happen, it would be like saying that these MLM-schemes actually work for everyone.

I’ve moved the blog to a server of mine located in the Steadfast Networks Datacenter. This was made to get better loadtimes and such
