Lawrence Lee, of Userland and Tomalak’s Realm, did reply to my query about the future of Radio. Thanks, Lawrence. Seems most of the energy, recently, has gone to supporting the infrastructure and easing the start-up for new bloggers… which makes sense given that this is still very much a nascent market. But I’ll have to wait and see. Honestly, my laziness will probably leave me using Radio a while, without renewing. Since I have my own webhost, Radio will function just fine, without updates, indefinitely. Again, a user-friendly feature I appreciate. I guess I would be fond of Manila (the server product), but it’s not aimed at, or priced for, individuals, even if it is relatively inexpensive as these things go.
Maybe I’ll noodle around with some other programs for some other domains I’ve got lying around… in my free time?
