Like the "Connect" page, this page was "unpublished" by Google for some unspecified violation of a guideline--which one, I honestly don't know. When it worked, it was basically a set of bookmarks that I could access from any computer on the internet.
In addition to my own sites (see that Connect page), its destinations fell into seven categories:
- Technical stuff for doing business with Google: Blogger, GoogleSites, Picasa Feedburner, Adsense, etc.
- Social media pages, including various Facebook pages and Twitter. "Socials" will now do much of that.
- Moribund websites: Intent, Gaia, Beliefnet, EduFire, Shenzhen Stuff, Classmates.com, and Flickr, all discussed on the CCC page. I also give my LinkedIn account; I still use that (a little).
- Many Chinese social sites that I no longer use, or can use: Fanfou, Kaixin, Renren, Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, Sina Blog, and Zuosa
- "Popular" sites I no longer use (too much work for too little return): Pinterest, Tumblr
- Shenzhen Stuff and its sister sites for Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai
- Sites I do still use, albeit rarely: Statcounter, Amazon, and PayPal (the latter two are just aspirational at this point)
There follows a list of my many email addresses at the time, few of which are still in use.
And that's it! Presented here mainly for historical purposes.
