In Romania, I recently saw a blog platform closing; a big multinational company has built a blogging platform; not very successful (in part due to the technical issues, in part due to the community, in part due to promotion of the platform); now what does the company do? Closes the service and tells the bloggers to go somewhere else with their blogs; no export function, no data liberation, no help in moving.
De ce Google+ poate deveni complicat ulterior?
Google Plus e simplu acum. Cu timpul, poate deveni mai complicat. Argumentația mea: Gmail-ul e mai complicat ca Yahoo! Mail; Google Wave era foarte complicat; Google AdWords e sursa principală de venit a Google și e extrem de complicat, atât de complicat că există oameni care câștigă bani gestionând conturile altora, și se dau teste și acreditări în Google AdWords; iar despre schimbare – Google Chat a pornit foarte banal și simplu și ulterior i-au adăugat funcții; Gmail era relativ spartan la început, acum are tot felul de briz-briz-uri (vezi Google Labs, Themes, setări); adică nu e exclus să se dezvolte. :)

How to backup your whole archive of photos online?
I have about 50 GB of photos on my hard-drive (a photo has about 3-4 MB, you do the math how many photos have I made). How to back-up them all?
What should Google+ have in order to become „the” social network?
Inspired by a blog post by Ciprian GAVRILIU, I want to tell you my feed-back on Google+ vs. Facebook.
Nicolae Steinhardt and his father
I like Nicolae STEINHARDT a lot:
Nicolae STEINHARDT – the Orthodox Christian that means the most to me – Get a result now!
But there’s a thing about him, which I found out only recently, which made me care for him even more – his love for his father.
Why say YES to pretty much everything?
One of my life’s philosophies is simple: saying „Yes!” to pretty much everything (except for the case in which personal values are affected, and this doesn’t happen often).
Why taking average-quality photos is sometimes futile?
Yesterday I’ve been to a trip to Bulgaria. I took a lot of photos, even made a short video. Yet, when I saw people with a video camera on, and filming pretty much everything, I felt disappointed.
Follow-up: Balchik, Bulgaria – to/from there; people/places; photos/videos; everything in one blog post (2011.07.13)
