My Tumblr has become a twitter feed
Which I guess is inevitable when 1) you dont have a lot of time and 2) what time you have is spent trying to catch up on all the trillions of feeds you have going. It’s so much easier to just forward something along, essentially like-buttoning it and hoping that’s enough to remind people “hey! I’m still here and I still think about things!”
But I’m beginning to feel like as much as I shove content around, I’m losing a lot of the value (eek, b-school term?) blogging about it otherwise brings me… Some person’s innovative new farming venture, a topic I would’ve written an essay about a year ago, appears like a blip here and then vanishes, both from the front page and (I’m pretty sure, considering I can’t think of the details of any innovative farming ventures I’ve read about recently) my already limited memory.
So I should do something about it. Like, write a paragraph every time I put something up instead of a one-liner. Link to a different source or two. Maybe resume that blogger motto i set for Shanghaiist of “a post is only as good as its ability to jump you to another related idea.”
Actually, that’s what I will do from now on (barring the occasional funny picture). If I used to churn out 8 stories a day, I’m sure I could write a measly lil’ paragraph… Right? Riiiiiggghhhht.
