James Oppenheim’s blog

Australia Day. Wow, what more do you want in a day. No work, beer and a BBQ. Plus Australia thumped England in the Cricket. Is there anything more fitting? I should use the day to be constructive, but I don’t know, maybe I should just be patriotic and put another snag on the barbie?

So after a few months of doing this blogging thing I thought to myself, is this really the best / most efficient way for me to participate in the blogosphere. I am using WordPress to publish this blog and it is great, easy to style, effective and user friendly. Well this is good yeah?

But what about the new Bubbletwo (this site no longer exists) by Ben Nolan. I have setup another blog and it took 5 seconds. Now that is great. It takes me about the same time to write a post. So is this better than WordPress? Well it depends on what you want. I think Ben’s web application is a fantastic idea, but it lacks a few key features.

1. Lack of customisation. - You should be able name your blog and give it a strap line
2. Strange URL’s - You should get a more memorable URL you can give your friends rather than http://www.bubbletwo.com/gaaye (this site no longer exists)
3. Edit - You should be able to have the ability to edit your other posts, not just delete them

Once these features have been integrated I think Bubbletwo has the ability to be the next MySpace, Flickr, YouTube or Twitter.

While Bubbletwo is in a different market than WordPress, I still think it could have a major impact on the internet or at the very least change the way I blog.
