News
The latest buzz
As of now we represent independent online publishing on Facebook. You are able to visit our official page at:
https://facebook.com/aethyx.eu.
The first thing you will surely recognize is this huge URL. Unfortunately we won’t get a smart address until we attracted 25 fans minimum. So, it’s time to give us your thumbs up! We included the notorious “Like”-button under every text, to make things fast & sexy.
In the future you will get all our news directly inside your Facebook-stream. You can also comment and share the entries from this particular page. So it should be easier to stay in touch with our supporters, fans & clients.
Of course you will also find our “Kura”-symbol there. As we said in one of our earliest posts, it represents our philosophy entirely.
The graphic we used there is from a guy named troley. It is called “cyberpunk awesome” and is attributed with a Creative Commons-license. To visit his galery on flickr, see: http://flickr.com/photos/torley/4294987703/. He has a lot of great cyberpunk stuff online.
This is it, for now. Read next month: How we made it into an RPG-Facebook-game. Believe us: We didn’t see that coming.
So long,
the aethyx staff
[Update, 02.10.12]
As of now we got a smart URL for AETHYX MEDIAE – Independent Online Publishing on Facebook!
Visit us via http://facebook.com/aethyx.eu!
Thank you, Facebook. (We say this explicitly because we do not have the minimum of 30 fans yet but were allowed to choose this URL anyway.)
As of today it is possible to participate in a useful project called the
Declaration of Internet Freedom.
Here is the text version of it:
We stand for a free and open Internet.
We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet policy and the establishment of five basic principles:
Expression: Don’t censor the Internet.
Access: Promote universal access to fast and affordable networks.
Openness: Keep the Internet an open network where everyone is free to connect, communicate, write, read, watch, speak, listen, learn, create and innovate.
Innovation: Protect the freedom to innovate and create without permission. Don’t block new technologies, and don’t punish innovators for their users’ actions.
Privacy: Protect privacy and defend everyone’s ability to control how their data and devices are used.
To discuss and support visit http://techdirt.com/netdeclaration. You will find all the necessary information there.
Also, we made a short post about this important topic over at gizmeo.com, our gadget-blog: http://gizmeo.com/die-internet-freiheits-erklaerung/.
Finally, what is your opinion? Let us know what you think with a comment!
Stay free,

They say you need 3 years to establish your blog. In fact, that is a quote you can count on.
Take 3 years time, be patient. Fill your brand new blog with content constantly, comment on every feedback, keep your plugins up to date, work hard & do not resign. It is worth it.
Of course, even after these 3 years, you will not have thousands of visitors per day. But you will have your loyal readership and this will be worth the effort. With millions, even billions of websites available, it is a good cut to be thankful for even 50 of those readers every day. It may sound a little but it is definitely not. No matter what they say, give a damn.
Well, keep that thing going!
All the best,
the aethyx staff
We are glad to announce that you find our flagship project http://zockerseele.com, the ultimate games weblog, now on Facebook with its own Facebook page!
You can visit us now at any time via the following URL:
http://facebook.com/zockerseelecom/.
The main advantage is that you will get our news updates inside your news stream. So you won’t miss anything anymore.
Of course the main language in which these excerpts are written is German but you will also find a link back to the individual entries where you can let Google translate the content for you.
So, let us know what you think and we hope you will like and enjoy it! Show us your thumbs!
All the best,
aethyx staff
Social Media is everywhere. Of course we would like to support that. But Google+ for example won’t let us crosspost our contents inside the individual page. It’s a one-way-communication right now, the API isn’t open. Yet. It’s a new social media network, so we are pretty sure this feature will be available in the (near?) future.
Google says they want to keep this page-thing exklusive. But they even don’t offer smart URLs, Facebook allows this when you reach 30 fans or so.
We will enter this new realm as soon as crossposting is available. Facebook will be coming soon, so stay tuned.
Regards,
the aethyx staff
