I’m Chair of the WFDF Spirit of the Game Committee
I don’t publish on my blog very often.
And this isn’t much of a post.
And I would have posted it on Facebook, as I’ve done over and over recently.
But that didn’t seem right.
I’m tired of Facebook posts that I can’t format, can’t add links to, can’t archive, can’t search, can’t add images too, that there’s no RSS, that there’s no ability to set a CC license, that Facebook posts don’t show up in google or the internet archive, or use whatever name I want to call myself ...
I like that Facebook doesn’t have spam, and that it’s easy to use, and that you can control access, and I don’t mind that they make some money as they help me keep in touch my friends.
But the tradeoff these days seem too stark, and the things Facebook doesn’t do, or does poorly, or does wrong—there’s lots they could do to be better. There’s so much information buried there, in ways that could be so much more beneficially exposed and shared.
