Happy New Year! It’s that time of year when I tidy up all my digital spaces and dream. Time to plan new goals, and tinker with what has come before and what should come next.
Last year I started this site and then struggled to find a blogging rhythm. Hopefully I can get better at that in 2025 and post here more regularly. I am reminding myself that the random posts I added on Facebook were often interesting or useful to others and it’s a great idea to post those in blog form here, rather than there.
2024 was also the year I started to think more carefully about how I might start to take my online presence back from the social platforms, and, as 2025 dawns, that mission seems even more important. The birdapp is a dumpster fire, Bluesky is a bot farm and Facebook is not serving me (or anyone else). So what will I try to learn and achieve this year?
I’m starting by rebuilding my Social Links Library with Raindrop.io. I have cleaned out the old links saved the gems, collated all my recipes, and hopefully with this new tool, I’ll get better at regularly saving and sharing great resources. You can find my new Links Library here.
I’ve also decided it’s time to get serious about RSS again, so I’ve setup an account on Feedly and will share more of what I’m reading and thinking about here and on this blog.
I’m also continuing my mission to create a useful KPop Calendar for the Apobangpo.Space community, and will try hard to keep it up to date and full of interesting events and new releases. I’m using the Spiffy Calendar to build this resource, and you’re welcome to email me your fave’s upcoming releases and events.
And of course, I’m continuing to explore the Fediverse and moderating Apobangpo on Mastodon, because it is joy!
What tools are you planning on using in 2025? How are you upgrading your digital footprint?
