Setting up a Planet

Planet aggregation is really easy. The whole thing is a simple process, and I really like it. I set one up for mobile-related weblogs, and I was browsing past it, and I was like... whoa! What's that thing! then i realized it was my own site that I made

One thing I've noticed is that mobile people post a lot of pictures. Every post from half the weblogs has a picture in it: apparently that's how they get people's attentions in their posts, by posting really big images. It's actually pretty cool to see lots of images of new phones and apps and stuff like that.

In addition to all the posts that have pictures, I also have planetmobile pulling in flickr images with the tag mobile, as well as technorati and flickr recent posts tagged with mobile. So, you get a whole range of stuff in the sidebar, along with all the posts that are aggregated into the actual planet.

Oh, and .us domains are cheap right now. 6.95 or something like that? I should really buy domains more often. I mean, seriously: it costs less for me to buy a domain than to buy lunch, yet every time I think of buying one, I hold off because I'm worried it might cost too much. I do need to alter the site so it's less stolen from planetrdf: that was a temporary thing that is going to become permanent quickly if I don't do something about it.

Oh, and as far as planets go: I finally got up the nerve to ask dajobe to only watch my semantic web posts from my weblog. No more limitation of posting due to forced audiences! I like that. I'm hoping it leads me to new levels of posting. It probably won't though. I'm lazy. That is all!
