Worth Reading – WordPress debuts a private workspace that runs in your browser via a new service, my.WordPress.net

This is actually interesting:

WordPress’s new browser-based service lets users create private sites without hosting or signing up, turning the platform into a personal workspace for writing, research, and AI tools.

It’s all stored in the browser, which carries some risk of computer crashes, but they claim to have backup and transfer mechanisms. It could provide a playground or personal knowledge base, complete with some AI, without worrying about it being stored in the cloud, because you can’t share it. It can be a place to play with WordPress design and experimentation without the need for hosting or for it to be available on the public internet.

Would you try it? What use case would you have for it?

I’m probably going to give it a go, mostly as a tool for research and knowledge, since WordPress is something I’m already familiar with. Hopefully, that familiarity makes it a little easier than some other tools that require a learning curve to configure properly.

We’ll see.

Thankfully, the latest edition of WinXP News has the way to continue to do this in Outlook 2007. How to get…

  • Interesting questions.

    The recent news that the RIAA wants ISP’s to start paying a tax for their customers file sharing raises a number of interesting questions. To me, this has always been the “tipping point” of sorts for the whole file-sharing question. It was inevitable that the RIAA and MPAA would go after ISP’s. There’s no cost-effective…

    We’ve been having problems off and on with our Internet connection at the house. Finally, last night Angela gave them a call.

  • You need my passwords???

    Tonight when I powered on my desktop PC, I was caught somewhat by surprise by Outlook asking me for my Gmail IMAP password. I fired up Twhirl at the same time and was somewhat surprised that it asked for my Twitter password as well, but I entered it and immediately tweeted to see if anyone…
