As the clues below have given way to the inevitable solution, and as surely as nobody should stick around at a party after it’s stopped being fun, we bid goodbye to Worst Attitudes Ever today.
I started it in the wake of previous class sites to see if a group blog would be a good way to keep people in contact. My conclusion, based upon pageviews is this:
You’re all really interested in each other – you just don’t have the time to update each other.
Hence, as Mr. Akerman suggests, Mr. Gray seconds and I approve, WAE is going offline. But we have an alternative and it’s one Brad, Gary and I have been playing around with for a while.
Facebook, for the uninitiated, is a social network. Before you freak out – check it out. It’s very easy, and can even go through some of your email address books (GMail, Comcast, etc.) to see if your friends are onboard. We have set up a WHS86 Facebook group, which will simply be an aggregation of people’s Facebook updates. That way, there is a constant flow of information without the awkward “how come nobody’s updating this crap?” feeling.
So, we’ll still share news, pictures, videos and information. In many ways, this is a preferable alternative – you can post pics of your kids on your Facebook page and feel fairly secure, because only people you approve can see your stuff.
WAE was an experiment – and a bizarre one at that. I wouldn’t have come close to guessing we’d do nearly 70,000 pageviews in a year with this thing. I’d like to thank everyone who participated, contributed and read this. I see no reason to erase the site – it’s hosted for free and is now an excellent archive. We’re just going to end further updates.
Sign up for Facebook, and then look for us online. As always – feel free to email me with questions: steviesaf (at) Gmail (dot) com.
Thanks for letting me take a little part of your day occasionally this year.
Class dismissed. That’s some attitude you’ve got there. Good night, Ned Jennison, wherever you are.
