Three Years on the Commons

Three years ago today I adopted a Creative Commons license for Bloggle.

I’m pleased to note I’ve finally adopted a Creative Commons license for the content that is Bloggle. That is to say, I’ve chosen to reserve some rights… a refreshing change, I think, to an increasingly wacky copyright system.

Since that time, articles I’ve written for Bloggle have been widely syndicated, reprinted, posted above counter-tops in coffee shops, emailed and otherwise freely shared. Chances are you’re reading this on something other than my web site right now, maybe Google, or NetVibes, or Bloglines or some other kind of feed aggregator.

That’s pretty spiffy. More, it’s probably the driving reason why Bloggle’s audience is now some 600% greater than it was three years ago, despite the fact that I’ve sometimes not updated the site for, er… extended periods of time. [Sorry.]

Thanks for your continued readership. Nice to have you along for the ride…
