Wow! Just realized I've been blogging for over 20 years, starting way back in August 2004 on kinlan.co.uk with Blogger. The journey has taken me through Posterous and landed me here on paul.kinlan.me with Hugo (and maybe Jekyll at some point). Sure, there's some cringe-worthy stuff in the archives, but it's my history. And honestly, I wouldn't be where I am today without this little corner of the internet. Huge thanks to Tim Berners-Lee and everyone who's made the web what it is!
The web's organic growth, with examples like Google Maps' early API and widespread embeddability, leads to questions about its current design. Would we recreate this structure today? Likely not. This suggests a need for change and migration, but how can this complex transition be managed effectively, especially considering the scale and interconnectedness of the web?
My site hasn't been updated because I just moved and haven't had internet access. That's changing today with the installation of Telewest Broadband 4Mbs! I'm excited to get back online.
I heard back from the Start.com team at MSN regarding the feedback I sent earlier. I'll share more details tomorrow, along with a couple of other posts I've been working on. Thanks to Venkat and Hadi for their responses.
I just completed all the questions on Start.com, and they gave me a link to their new beta site: http://www.start.com/myw3b/. It's supposed to be an all-in-one platform for RSS, search, info, and more. I'm really excited about this and the new Google services – they're making websites so much more interactive!
