This is Part II of my series on the Death of Webrings. Part I is here. For this article I am going to use two examples. ...My approach to long form blogging: 1. try not to sound like a moron, 2. quit trying to write like a journalist, 3. write like I would in a forum post, 4. try not to sound like a moron, 5. I am letting people in on my current thinking on a topic which may not be consistant with my past thinking or future thinking on the same topic, 6. occasionally use commas, 7. try not to sound like a moron. I don’t always succeed.
Sunday morning and Micro.blog is hoping. Some facinating discussions going on. It is exciting to see some of the longest threads of conversation I have ever encountered on MB. However I’m finding some hard to follow but this is most likely me skipping around between timeline, mentions, conversations and then getting sidetracked on a link that looks shiney.
But the cool thing is there are actual, in depth conversations going on!
Another thought, I have followed more people and the timeline is moving quicker. I need to promote some MB folk that I follow to my RSS reader. I think a MB folder in needed. I’m not sure how that will work out if I find a post on the reader that I would like to comment on, but I can experiment with one or two first. Some, like manton and macgenie should probably remain both on the timeline but also on the RSS reader so I don’t miss important announcements and stuff.
Anyone doing the RSS reader thing with MB? How is that working out for you?
