And though it started to grow very quicky, it was summarily suspended for not representing a real person.</p> <p>No big deal, after I set up the <a href="http://gplus.to/mcookies">MilkandCookies Google+ page</a> I had read that Google was going to release pages for websites and other non-person entities. Truth is, I found it cumbersome to get MilkandCookies links onto the Google+ profile.</p> <p>That being said, I think Google+ is totally going to kick Facebook’s ass.</p> <p>Like sites like Yahoo! and AOL, Facebook really needs everyone to stay on their site, which is why they allow people to write apps and put their own sites into Facebook’s domain. They make money via page views after all.</p> <p>Google doesn’t need you to stay on Google+. In fact, they haven’t even called it a social networking site. It’s Google with social features (Google plus social -> Google Plus!). Google just wants everyone to be on the web because Google is all over the web. </p> <p>But Facebook was a threat because Google is outside the Facebook castle walls. And the castle was growing. Google doesn’t need to be Facebook, <a href="http://twitter.com/mcookies">Twitter</a> (or <a href="http://blog.milkandcookies.com">Tumblr</a> for that matter). It just needs to make sure that no one else gets a monopoly.</p> <p>MilkandCookies will continue to have a presence on Facebook, Twitter (and now Tumblr) and addition to our goal to be a part of Google+ — and the next thing and the next thing.</p> <p>Looking forward to celebrating the 10,000 people party on Facebook — and some day maybe as many on Google+.</p>http://blog.milkandcookies.com/post/7561875558http://blog.milkandcookies.com/post/7561875558Tue, 12 Jul 2011 21:28:00 -0700Google+Google PlusTwitterFacebooksubmissionjaxonbrooks<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo5fn6gkTo1qzo8vco1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>MilkandCookies Blog Gets a Makeover</h2> <h3>What’s up with the picture?</h3> <p>I was looking for an image for this post and found this one that was made years ago by a <a href="http://www.milkandcookies.com">MilkandCookies</a> Moderator back when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil_Wheaton">Wil Wheaton</a> and MilkandCookies were neck and neck for the 50th most popular website on <a href="http://technorati.com/blogs/top100/"> Technorati</a>. I just had to repost it.</p> <h3>What’s up with the blog?</h3> <p>So basically I moved from Wordpress to Tumblr. All the geeky details are available on their <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/why-tumblr">Why Tumblr</a> page. What it boils down to for me is that I didn’t use Wordpress, I  actually use Tumblr — probed by several other Tumblr based blogs I have been running for months now. <em>See bottom of page for links. *</em></p> <h3>A few new features over the old blog:</h3> <ul><li>Better mobile support: reading and administrating</li> <li>Auto posting to Facebook and Twitter (Google+?)</li> <li>Simple form for asking us questions</li> <li>Scheduled posts</li> <li>Better commenting with <a href="http://disqus.com/">Disqus</a></li> <li>Anyone can <a href="http://staff.tumblr.com/post/138478782/submissions">post a blog submission</a></li> </ul><p>I’ll put the link to the old blog when I get that sorted out.</p> <p>Let me know what you think in the comments area.</p> <h4>* Other sites I run on Tumblr</h4> <ul><li><a href="http://www.churchofbutt.com/">Church of Butt</a> Weird Memes</li> <li><a href="http://www.tidbot.com/">tidbot</a> Geek Memes</li> <li><a href="http://www.buddhathumb.com/">BuddhaThumb</a> Cult Memes</li> <li><a href="http://www.oingle.com/">Oingle Gamer</a> Jaxon’s Gamer Page</li> </ul>http://blog.milkandcookies.com/post/7497248926http://blog.milkandcookies.com/post/7497248926Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:01:05 -0700jaxonbrooks
