After careful consideration, I have decided to begin blogging on my own privately hosted site: et.cairene.net. If you have subscribed to my feedburner feed (i.e., http://feeds.feedburner.com... then your subscription will follow. For me, it came down to this: I want more control than a community-hosted service can supply (free or otherwise). The quite reasonable changes here at GeeksWithBlogs resulted in pushing me to this conclusion, but I would have gotten there anyway. Thanks...

I stopped posting over the last few days due to the service changes at GeeksWithBlogs. They have decided to include advertisements on all of their hosted blogs and feeds. I can understand their need: the community is growing rapidly and it's costing more money to support. I would have preferred it if we (as a part of this community) had been given a chance to comment on this change and even been given the option of ponying up some money.

Robert Scoble posted some things he would consider when evaluating an acquiring company. I read his post with interest as in the past I was actively involved in the sale of a company I cofounded.

I talk a bit about what Digipede does and what makes our product different from other Grid offerings out there. I also talk a little bit about the background of my team and what got us interested in this market space. At least I think that is what talked about -- I haven't watched the interview myself...

I have decided to move my blog from Blogger over to GeeksWithBlogs. My biggest reason for doing this is that GeeksWithBlogs is a community of technical people focused on the Microsoft platform. Blogger is, well, blogger: A community of everyone on the planet who blog. With the change, I'm also changing the name to "Expert Texture". Since I use FeedBurner to manage my feed, I am able to keep my existing RSS feed, which is here. Also, I have duplicated this post between the two blogs...

I am new to geekwithblogs. I recently started blogging here. I think I answered all of these questions there (i.e., specifically here). I'm trying to decide if I should move my (relatively few) post from there to here. What say you
