Welcome to the New Home of 1389 Blog

July 30th, 2007 — 1389, 1389 Message Blog, Blogger.com, Ft. Hard Knox, Pownce, Slashdot, StumbleUpon, Wordpress, blogging, counterjihad, e-jihadis

1389 Blog on Blogspot has been migrated to 1389 Blog on WordPress.

The WordPress blogging system will allow more features to be added to the blog, but the purpose will be the same. It’ll be an antijihadist/techie blog, as it is now, with emphasis on exposing jihadism and particularly cyberjihadism, and of providing access to the technical news, tools, and techniques that help antijihadist activists to be more effective on the Web.

Other blogs are not affected:

I blog regularly at Ft. Hard Knox, either as 1389, or under my FHK forum name, AntiJihadist.
1389 Message Blog is one place where I post various links that I consider interesting. Others are welcome to use them.

Also see 1389 Elsewhere on the Web.

Twitter vs. Pownce – Comparison with Rolling Updates

July 6th, 2007 — 1389, Digg, Pownce, Twitter, social media

Rolling updates follow the main body of this article.

As you may have noticed, 1389 is a frequent Twitter user. While I don’t claim that Twitter is perfect – it does suffer occasional glitches and outages – I find Twitter to be a useful and entertaining social networking tool, and one that has significant political, business, and educational uses as well.

Recently, several people associated with Digg showed up on Twitter to promote Pownce, which they consider to be a competitor to Twitter. I wondered whether the name Pownce was meant to suggest some beclawed feline predator capturing every Twitter bird that happens by.

Of course, I’m the last person who could claim to be unbiased here; I have leveled some heated criticism at Digg, its owners, its admins, its investors, and a good (or not-so-good) proportion of its user base. On the other hand, seeing so many Twitterers headed in that direction, I finally (and somewhat reluctantly) requested a Pownce invitation and signed up.

Well, guess what! I established an account, loaded up an avatar graphic, filled in my profile data, and clicked on a URL that allowed me to start adding friends. But that was it. As of today (7/3/07, 12:05 AM Eastern Time US), whenever I have tried to get into my own Pownce home page, namely http://pownce.com/1389, Pownce’s 404 screen has appeared every time. My guess is that the error has something to do with my having signed up with an all-numeric Pownce user ID. Even though Pownce allowed me to do that, this may have caused some other process within Pownce to break later on. Of course, once you sign up with a user ID, Pownce doesn’t let you change it if you find that it isn’t working properly.

But that’s not all. To my disgust, I found out that the only way I can see the messages I received earlier in the day is to rummage through the huge pileup of e-mail in my inbox. If I shut off the email option, then I can’t see if anybody is trying to send me a message. So I filled out a tech support form and haven’t gotten an answer. If they don’t fix it soon, I’ll have to chuck the whole thing, because all of that inbox e-clutter interferes with everything else I’m trying to do.

Status update as of 7/4/05:

I just want to assure everyone that everything has been fixed, and I’m now on Pownce as 1389. Thanks for fixing everything, and hope to see you all there!

Well, enough about me – you’re probably wondering what the rest of the folks who have used both Pownce and Twitter have to say. Which do they prefer, and why?
