  • Garbage Day in Bluesky’s the new Twitter probably

    a moment at some point in the future where enough people who grew up on a text-based web have died off and taken with them any memory of enjoying reading and writing posts online.

    A little over dramatic, sure, but I don’t think it’s far fetched to expect a future where reading is ‘boring’ and therefore bothering to write online becomes less and less popular.

  • Brokenness Is Awesome

    Cory Dransfeldt loving the fact that Social media’s broken: Find your space and don’t feel obligated to participate in any of it. Like Cory, I have my website (I check in on the social bits of micro.blog sometimes although I wish I could turn it off) I have too many books to read, and I have a nice place to sit and read them. In spite of of all the really great people I have met online I just can’t be bothered with the discourse any more.

  • Paul in Khoi Vinh on How His Blog Amplified His Work and Career

    Content and writing are not the same thing, at least the way that we’ve come to define them in contemporary society. Content is inherently transactional; its goal is to drive towards some kind of conversion, some kind of exchange of value.

    There is a stark difference in writing to engage and writing to influence.

  • Finding A Third Place

    Federico Viticci in his iPad Mini review where he talks about it being a ‘third place’: I’ve been thinking about the idea of a third place lately as it relates to the tech products we use and the different roles they aim to serve… The iPad Mini is the ideal third place device for things I would rather not do on my iPhone or iPad Pro. Having completely missed all the iPad Mini reviews, I saw one in-store at the weekend and remembered it existed.

  • Justification To Yourself

    Since my early days of being online, I have been fairly easily influenced into making a tech purchase. It only required a few people talking about a new phone, or a picture of a Pepsi can from Kurt Colbeck, to make me go out and buy a new Android phone. This was the days when phones were fun after all, and there was always a new one to lust after.

  • I'm A Blogger

    Chris Wilson writing about his happiness being an unprofessional blogger: About 10 years ago, I wanted to be a professional blogger. Now I’m happy to be an unprofessional blogger. Well, most of the time at least. I, too, tried this thing called making money on the internet. At the time it was usually referred to as becoming a writer because a ‘blogger’ was a somewhat pejorative term that writers looked down their nose at.

  • What Zuckerberg Thinks About Your Posts

    Alex Heath from The Verge spoke to Mark Zuckerberg after Meta connect and there are numerous takeaways from it. I recommend you to give it a listen if you are at all interested in technology, or even if you just use Meta platforms. The episode is pretty concise to a few key areas, and posting to Facebook and Instagram is a large part of it. Below, I pulled out a few telling quotes on what Zuck plans for the future of his services.
