Blogging/Micro-Blogging & Me

I’ve felt recently that I have turned into a blogging failure compared to my past years of multiple updates a week, these past posts usually being longer essay-type posts. Part of the drop-off is the feeling that I don’t have any time for blogging anymore. But then I realized how into Twitter I’ve become. I’m a Tweet machine, sharing links and multiple posts there a day. And then I remembered how much more I’m getting into Facebook…

This seems to be a shared consensus online with older bloggers; that social media networks are slowly taking over their time and attention. It’s an interesting shift.

I’m working on a redesign of this site to try and take advantage of the social networking I am involved in, and to let myself post smaller, one-off posts instead of the longer ones I was used to doing. I’ll still have more thought out posts, but I’d like to incorporate all the crap I stumble across and share with people on other networks. It seems silly not to post it here too.

In the meantime, if you’re on Twitter, you can follow my quick thoughts there
