The evolution of Thoughts
Thoughts.com has changed a lot since I first tried it out more than a year ago. From a simple pastel blue portal-like interface it has grown a little more sophisticated in look, with its bolder blue gradient, and as well as content.
Blogs, Photos, Videos, Podcasts, Polls, Surveys, News, Forums and Groups remain the core of Thoughts.com’s offerings, and the best thing is it is still 100% free. Unlike other all-in-one social networking sites, Thoughts focuses on user interaction through blogs and forums and file sharing, rather than opportunities for advertising and profit. As a rule, money-making activities such as affiliate marketing and the promotion of external blogs and sites are not allowed.
In fact, Thoughts even supports and recommends a few charities for its users to support, such as Heal the Ocean, the National Alliance to End Homelessness and Amnesty International.
But if you think Thoughts is starting to sound like a fuddy-duddy dull site, think again. Once you’ve signed up you can jazz up your pages as often as you want with the various themes and widgets available through a simple click through interface.
Thoughts has the lowest allowable member age that I know of. Minimum age that you need to be to become a member is fourteen. At first I thought that was rather young, but on the other hand, since Thoughts is ad- and promotion-free there’s less likelihood of a teener running through suggestive advertisements and promotions.
A Thousand Words on Gaerlan St.
Sam and I bought the domain gaerlanstreet.com just for the heck of it, and at the time we bought it we really didn’t have an idea of what to put in it.
Well now we do.
I’ve been a point and shoot camera buff ever since I got an old Minolta from my aunt a decade or so ago, and I’ve been pushing this Kodak EasyShare CX7330 as far as it can go.
And then there’s Photoshop.
The results? Almost magical for some of them. Why don’t you head on down there and see for yourself. Click here to go to Gaerlan St.
Thanks to my Top 10 Entrecard Droppers!
As an Entrecard newbie I do not claim to know the intricacies of the Entrecard system. What I do know is it has opened up my blog to a wider range of readers, as well as led me to other blogs I wouldn’t otherwise find on my own. Although I remain a casual and relaxed dropper, there is no doubt that I have gained a lot more than what I have given so far.
So to give some of it back I would like to thank my top 10 Entrecard Droppers today. I intend to publish this table, updated, once a week month. The table is copied directly from the Statistics page on my Entrecard account, with links edited so that clicking on them will take you directly to the Entrecard page of each blog.
