There’s no shortage of year-end-and-beginning blog posts about social media, but I thought I’d throw mine into the mix as well.

This functionality makes it easy for your target audience to interact with your content directly on their feeds. According to Time, Facebook has lost over 11 million young users since 2011. Facebook is for “old people”. That’s a big number.

When I first dropped my self-hosted blog and relocated it to Posterous last year after a bit of a hacking incident , I had trouble importing the old content. So as a quick fix I dropped it here, on WordPress.com , so as not to lose everything going back to 2003. I’m sure I missed a few here and there. I can live with that.
