studies show shorter blog posts are the new hip thing
I’ve initimidated myself out of posting by writing such long posts recently. That’s about to change. I may write a long one occasionally, but generally I’ll be posting more links, videos, and shorter thoughts. I enjoy getting those thoughts from my friends and people I follow through rss from their blogs, and I think I’ll join that party.
I had been planning on using something like tumblr or posterous for that, or just posting that stuff straight to friendfeed, but since it seems like subscribing to people’s blogs is still the easiest way to see what they have to say, I’ll be using this blog to share that sort of stuff.
To start that off, here’s a pretty sweet site you should definitely check out if you use delicious for bookmarks:
It generated a nice looking thumbnail grid, like searchme, for all my bookmarks. I didn’t even have to create an account. I just went to that page, and it pulled up and thumbnailed all my delicious links from delicious.com/blakeweb. Makes it super-easy for me to find something I bookmarked a while ago.
Oh, and I also rethemed this blog.
There’s been a definite trend towards briefer posts, at least among the blogs I read. I wonder if this is in response to the threat from Twitter?
There’s certainly nothing wrong with keeping things to the point :)
