"Wireless Muse: Reiter's Wireless Data Weblog" is my fourth weblog and there will be many more articles to come. It's somewhat of a "continuation" of my first weblog.
I established my first weblog, "Reiter's Wireless Data Web Log" (yes, similar title but with the now-preferred spelling of "weblog") in the fall of 2001. It was relatively early in the days of weblogs and there were far fewer weblog hosting companies.
I picked Weblogger.com as offering one of the most full-featured (in those days), easy to use and reliable weblog services. I tested a variety of hosting companies, too, such as Blogger (too unreliable) and Radio Userland (I liked it but already had many posts on Weblogger.com).
Onward and upward
Weblogger.com continues to plug away and I recently updated "Reiter's Wireless Data Web Log." However, Weblogger.com's platform doesn't seem to have kept up with offering the much richer feature sets and user interfaces that are available, for example, from TypePad.
For example, I'm playing around with podcasts, using Audioblog, and it's very easy to transmit an audio file with audio controls to TypePad/Movable Type weblogs. But there's no automatic way to easily post podcasts via Audioblog to Weblogger.com. (I'm also eagerly waiting for Odeo to offer podcast creation tools.)
So...I think this weblog will be my "main" personal wireless data weblog, with the exception of wireless imaging that I discuss in "Reiter's Camera Phone Repor." My other weblog, the "WIC Weblog," is a paid consulting project for the Wireless Internet Caucus, the wireless data group within the CTIA.
FYI: This weblog was originally my first test weblog (with a completely different template) when I was fortunate to be a beta tester for TypePad more than two years ago. I just erased virtually all the "test" posts but kept (for historical reference!) a few. Hence, the reason for the two-year hiatus between this article and the previous articles.
More to come
As the headline says -- "stay tuned" -- for more articles (and podcasts) about wireless data.
This new weblog also gives me the opportunity to activate one of the many wireless-related domain 
names I registered years ago: WirelessMuse.com. If I ever retire and want to sell my corporate URL -- WirelessInternet.com -- I'll probably use WirelessMuse as my main domain name.
After all, I am very Muse-like (albeit male)! Reiter: The god of wireless data inspiration!
(Note: www.WirelessMuse.com should be active July 30 or 31 after the domain mapping kicks in is now active and automatically forwards to reiter.typepad.com/winternet.)
