Those little triangles often contained wonderfully concise information. They were maybe quite similar to tweeting and the 140, also. This does make one wonder what the future holds for those who wish to "send a message out into the world."Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-90978296901163592072011-11-09T22:53:30.293+00:002011-11-09T22:53:30.293+00:00Been to Harrogate once.

I seem to think there were 4 collections/deliveries a day or something like that in the UK.

I don’t think we’ll be blogging in the future; it’ll be something else even more wonderful. I do, however, think we’ll still be enjoying the printed page. Look how many people who blog, also publish on paper. I know you’ve published some blogs, and now I’m being urged to lay some family memories down in hard copy too. I may be after you for advice on that one.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-29369339947989573422011-11-09T12:31:10.606+00:002011-11-09T12:31:10.606+00:00Nice look see and very good information on them.

The waste bins are filled with past technology that ran out of style. <br /><br />But the idea of blogging is good. I am sure there are ways to present a journal of one's life that is not only simpler but easier. I just haven't found it yet.<br /><br />I just can't imagine looking at this blog post in the year 2050, for example. I won't be here then but those that are will surely be looking at something totally different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-8082463090056828792011-11-09T11:17:43.767+00:002011-11-09T11:17:43.767+00:00Not sure if blog posts will stand the test of time...Not sure if blog posts will stand the test of time or not, after all the internet just has to go poof and there they go.Pat Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745293224202430152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-40725597386574428612011-11-09T10:32:50.336+00:002011-11-09T10:32:50.336+00:00Tony : I certainly hope so - or maybe it will be a...Tony : I certainly hope so - or maybe it will be a picture of her great grandma.<br />Brett : See http://newsfromnowhere1948.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-memory-of-lady-hermoine-and-dark-red.htmlAlan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-29540980249148544902011-11-09T10:07:52.214+00:002011-11-09T10:07:52.214+00:00Netherby Hall I've never seen
