So I finally sat down today and hacked out the new “feature” I’ve been wanting to add to this blog—the one that I hope will get me posting more frequently. I had been wanting to pair it with a revised design, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards anytime soon. That’s OK, though; I’m still fond of this setup.
The new feature? The ability to have mini-blog posts. Something like the reclusive, anti-social little brother of Twitter. Upside is that I should have better reliability than Twitter seems to be having; downside is that I don’t get any of the nifty-cool-spiffo social networking features—including my personal favorite, the ability to have @person conversations. Comments will have to suffice.
I’m still wary of this whole “social web” thing. My internal Admiral Ackbar continues to cry it’s a trap!
I haven’t had time to dig through the RSS feeds, either, so for now anyone reading via RSS will be doomed to a potential glut of mini-posts. Sometime in the future I’ll get around to setting up a real-post-only feed (contents: sound of crickets), but that’ll probably be around the time I get around to updating my layout.
Well, there IS something to be said for an outlet that’s more reliable than Twitter. Then again, most politicians are more reliable than Twitter, lately…
