Last night the sister  domain to this site went live at www.georgehallonline.com.

This afternoon (Melbourne Australia time) www.geehall1.com became a reality.

Of course, a Saturday in Melbourne or a Friday night in the U.S. is the usual time you see those wonderful little gremlins come into play, so I still have to wait a small amount of time to connect the domain with the actual posting page.

That aside, after a year of developing in social media through Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed, identi.ca and a couple of others, it was time to take the dotcom plunge.  They say nobody really takes you seriously until you get the dotcom address.

Then again, 2009 on Twitter was an effective apprenticeship, as was blogging on wordpress.com and blogger.  It was important to spend some time honing craft and doing some experiential learning.

This year, 2010, it's time to take the next step and build from that first year's base.  Domain, greater regularity in posts, and further exploring of where things can go.

Above all else, I'm here to stay in the online world.  My method is step-at-a-time, starting with last year's foundations in the various social media services I use.  For those who've been following the geehall1 stable on those services, you already know my work, either with emergency information relay during last year's bushfires, or through my video interviews with the Tweetupmellers/Twums functions.

There's still more to explore and do.  While it's worn thanks to reality TV shows, the word "journey" still applies here.

It's a journey of exploration and discovery.

Feel free to join me in that voyage.
