Our new domain: blog.zzzeitgei.st

Dear zzzeitgeist readers,

You've probably noticed by now, but we'd like to take this opportunity to officially announce our new domain.

We've moved from http://zzzeitgeist.blogspot.com to our new home: http://blog.zzzeitgei.st/. In case you were wondering, .st is the top level domain for the country of Sao Tome and Principe, a tiny nation located off the coast of Africa. (It's just the name: the blog is still hosted on servers in the United States, so it will load at the same speed as always!)

Why switch domains? It's a signaling mechanism: we're taking the new collaborative model very seriously, and we're working very hard to make it successful. We hope that establishing our own domain both reflects this commitment and adds a new element of professionalism to the operation. Plus it's, like, a totally sweet domain.

One important note: thanks to Blogger software, you must type in http://blog.zzzeitgei.st/ to visit us. (Neither http://www.zzzeitgei.st/ or http://zzzeitgei.st/ will take you where you need to go. Sorry about that, but the problem is on Google's end, not ours.) Otherwise, this is largely a cosmetic change. For the foreseeable future, we will continue hosting the blog on Blogger, and it will have the same look and feel. We set up our old address to redirect automatically to the new one, so you don't even have to update your bookmarks. If you receive zzzeitgeist by email, you also shouldn't have to change anything.

However, if you subscribe to the zzzeitgeist RSS feed, you may need to update it. Look at the URL of the feed to which you are subscribed.

This one will no longer work: http://zzzeitgeist.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default.

The correct feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/zzzeitgeist.

Many thanks for your continued support of zzzeitgeist. We look forward to making things even better.

Nick and Patrick
