1389 Blog HAS MOVED

LOOK FOR THIS BLOG AT http://1389blog.com.
The blog name has been changed to 1389 Blog.
Click here for this article on the new blog!
Please update your links, feed subscriptions, and favorites. Thanks!

Techies will notice that this blog has been migrated from Blogger.com to WordPress. The WordPress blogging system will allow more features to be added to the blog, but the purpose will be the same. It'll be an antijihadist/techie blog, as it is now, with emphasis on exposing jihadism and particularly cyberjihadism, and of providing access to the technical news, tools, and techniques that help antijihadist activists to be more effective on the Web.

Other blogs are not affected:

I blog regularly at Ft. Hard Knox, either as 1389, or under my FHK forum name, AntiJihadist.
1389 Message Blog is one place where I post various links that I consider interesting. Others are welcome to use them.

Why StumbleUpon 'Owns' Digg

After all of the endless hype surrounding Digg, I was surprised to read this article by Darren Rowse at Problogger: Why StumbleUpon Sends More Traffic than Digg.

Hmmm, I thought, time to try it out! So, after finding out that StumbleUpon doesn't accept an all-numeric user ID, I signed up as 1389AD. I set up the little toolbar and started using it. Then, I ran across an article that came out a few months ago, but is still very much worth reading, so I used the toolbar to submit a review of the article on StumbleUpon: My Thoughts on Our Children's Children's War.

I was surprised at what happened next, and you probably will be too. Read all about it here: How to Bury Digg.com.
