Internet Marketing and Product DevelopmentTumblr (3.0; @aripaparo)http://blog.aripaparo.com/<p>About a year ago I found that I was using Twitter as my primary blogging mechanism and only occasionally updating my long-form blog at <a title="Ari Paparo Dot Com" target="_blank" href="http://www.aripaparo.com">aripaparo.com</a>. So I tried an experiment where I would use <a title="Tumblr" target="_blank" href="http://www.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> to integrate my tweets with my posts, and it would be cool and all that.</p> <p>Turns out, since 99% of what I write are the tweets, if you want to know what I’m up to, you can just go to my <a title="Ari's Twitter Feed" target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com/aripap">twitter feed</a>. That’s how my Mom keeps track. Or better yet, “friend” me on Facebook, no muss, no fuss.</p> <p>With that said, I’m going to make an honest attempt to keep my old blog at <a title="Ari Paparo Dot Com" target="_blank" href="http://www.aripaparo.com">aripaparo.com</a> up to date. So update your RSS readers (for those of you who still use those), update your bookmarks in whatever cloud-based bookmark management system you might choose, and stop coming here.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>http://blog.aripaparo.com/post/262351966http://blog.aripaparo.com/post/262351966Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:08:50 -0500<p>Him: There’s no proof we landed on the moon.
