As I’ve used G+ more the last week, I’ve realized the service that feels the most redundant is my Tumblr account (on the custom domain http://www.quackquack.org). I started the Tumblr because I wanted something more “mine” than Facebook, a place where my photos and links would live independently. But how silly – Tumblr is just a hosted service that I ultimately have no control over.
So what’s different with G+ and Facebook? I think it’s the sense that Google will archive things. It feels like everything disappears after it ages off of the FB feed. #blog

The January issue of +Friends Journal will include an interview with +Robin Mohr. One of the classic Quaker tracts that’s inspired her is a 1944 speech that Rufus M Jones gave to young Friends in Baltimore Yearly Meeting. We couldn’t locate a copy online so we scanned, copied and typed it in and will use it as a supplemental link to Robin’s piece. #blog
