Going Private

Welecome to the the privitized GFTS. Actually, I want to call it GFTS:Unleashed. I’ve only allowed in people whom I trust, so I can be completely honest.
Here’s what happened.
Soon after starting my new job, my boss told me that she tracked my blog. This was the third time that I’ve encountered that. At TFK, there [...]

Blog Changes

For the last six months or so, I’ve noticed that my zeal for blogging has steadily declined. The echo chamber is too big. My voice in the overall blogosphere is insignificant. There are too many pundits and not enough listeners. I keep feeling that GFTS has gotten stale. No matter what I do, I haven’t [...]

I Appreciate You

According to the Internets, It’s Blog Reader Appreciation Day. Since the Internets are never wrong, I salute you, fair reader. Thanks for stopping by this little corner of the information super highway and reading. Perhaps, you even subscribe. If so, you’re a GFTS superstar!

Phew…

At some point over the weekend, GFTS crashed. I didn’t realize it until this afternoon.
I think that I lost a few days of entries, but it’s better than losing more than 4 years of archives.
Methinks, that I need to back everything up independently of my server.
It’s not like I really have time to post. Right [...]

Oh Hey…

Hey Blogosphere,
Remember me? It’s GFTS.
Yeah, it’s been a while.
I care about you. I really do. However, life has been busy lately.
Sorry about that. It’s not you. It’s me.
See, I’ve been kinda swamped with my job and some other stuff going on.
Is that lame? Want the truth? Honestly, I’ve gotten burned out on blogging. The echo [...]

GFTS Intimidation Factor

Everyone gets odd google searches on their blogs including GFTS. I’m the main source on the web for sorority t-shirt information (I should put a guide together) and “Support the Rabid” gear. I also get a fair amount of hits for stuff relating to the South, feminism, PR and pro-life issues. No big surprise there. [...]

A few months ago, Morra Aarons at techPresident and Blogher started a discussion about women and political blogging. At first I rolled my eyes and cited a few statistics from Pew and IPDI about men and women using the web for the same activities at equal rates. Then the NYT Caucus Blog delved into the [...]

When I saw the NYT Caucus Blog today questioning why there are more men involved in online politics, I groaned, yet here I am writing about it.
It’s not enough that gender discussions surround us everywhere. Didn’t the Internet even things out? Look at the statistics. Both Pew and George Washington University found that not only [...]

Elyzabethe at Yellow is the Color is calling it quits. This seems to be a trend among bloggers.
Is this part of the adoption cycle? The early adopters were probably around 2004 or earlier. Then blogging hit mainstream and everyone had one. Is the fad of blogging winding down? I would have assumed that the trend [...]

Edelman and PRWeek just released the Next Generation of Communicators, a report from their New Media Academic Summit 2007.
I wish that I had known about this conference! One of my major problems with academia is the wall between research and professionals. By the time a paper is peer-reviewed and published in a journal, it’s [...]
