Capitulation & Upgrade

Bought more storage for my Radio Weblog.  I am planning to move off of Radio to MT soon, but here's my rationale for continuing to invest in this platform.

Pros:

  • Sunk costs
  • Rather give my money to Dave than some convicted monopolist
  • Switching costs (really a Con, on many levels)

Cons:

  • Radio Userland stopped innovating and now demands others to do so for it
  • The aggregator is the reason I bought the product.  When we took a look at Many-to-Many's RSS stats it showed that the vast majority of RSS subscribers were Radio users.  But if my aggregator had less funk and more jibe it might not fail to subscribe to MT feeds as much.  And stand alone aggregators are improving.  And then I wouldn't have to deal with the Image Spam problem (posts with large images made by people with large screens that stretch your reader beyond the limits of your screen).
  • Did I mention I am planning to upgrade?
