OpenDiary

Well, the countdown has begun. 17 days left on OpenDiary, and then that’s it for me. I know, I know, Blather Inc needs to make money somehow, but I just can’t bring myself to pay for it. It’s not that I don’t understand the whole server thing – keeping all this digital chatter alive definitely costs something. But simple text and the occasional picture? It doesn’t feel like it should warrant a monthly fee. My internet bill is already hefty enough!

I’m definitely going to have to start looking around for another online home for my thoughts. Maybe something will pop up in my searches. It would be nice if OpenDiary could rethink their payment options, though. Perhaps a one-time fee, or different tiers based on usage? Just a thought. For now, though, the clock is ticking on my time here.

I’m not cheap, I’m just broke. I understand someone somewhere has to make a living!

Oh no!  I just got back to see you go. I understand what it is to be broke.  I do hope you find another site to keep your thoughts. Either way keep writting. You’re good at it. 😀

Yes, I’m not sure I’m gonna renew either. I write often and I read frequently but, it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

Most of it is spam and there is no full-way to report it to get rid of it.

You could try Prosebox. It’s free.
