i think the fact that this blog is mostly housekeeping is precisely what could set it apart from other blogs and make it interesting. the idea that people can see the process we go through in making decisions. i could be wrong, of course, but i like the fact that it's a different idea to other blogs. and there's other places for us to air opinions about the world etc (allb, etc).
my opinions on the different sites:
www.telafonica.com - a visual site where you (and me, i suppose) are free to place art/design/anything without concern for necessarily presenting lots of information. it's telafonica's aesthetic place.
www.myspace.com/telafonica www.virb.com/telafonica - this is where we can make announcements, list gigs, list discography etc etc. they're the info sites for telafonica. i'm keen to get virb happening because it is much nicer, but at this stage, myspace needs to be kept up as well because that's where people actually are and actually look at the moment. i'm happy to look after all the content stuff. if you want to play with them aesthetically, feel free, especially in terms of linking them visually to telafonica.com
www.telafonica.blogspot.com - the housekeeping. but also letting people on to the 'inside' and seeing this exact process. as i said, i think that's an interesting enough idea. and there's no harm making it public and have no-one see it. but there might be the odd person who would be interested. again, aesthetics can be edited to match, but aren't particularly the focus.
i don't mind at all that it's spread out over these things. everyone expects that these days anyway, and as long as they all link to each other, it's no different to separate pages on a single website, except this way, people's expectations of what kind of thing you'd get at each site are met at those sites.
