Why Facebook wouldn’t do.

I have created web pages in the past and found that the host services ceased to be or I had to leave the provider because the national Internet system was scheduled for marvelous improvement [NBN] and then a subsequent government mangleated that plan [conservative NBN]. I foolishly thought that Facebook, which had a provision for adding “Notes” to one’s own profile could be a substitute because it seemed so easy to provide references to those notes in comments on various discussion groups.

But no, F/b had to do and ‘improve’ itself, ie change everything into a would-be commercial beacon. In a classic race to the lowest common denominator, the ability to create and reference notes was taken away. Presumably because deeply considered rational thought cannot be so easily ‘monetised’ as chat and distracting trivia.

So, WordPress it must be and hopefully it will be around for a while. Ramen!
