I’ve been using posterous to throw thoughts into this blog for a while now. It’s a clever system that lets you publish to multiple places off the back of one email. I played with it some months ago, and walked away – then in a fit of laziness started using it again late last year. [...]
I have been playing with Tumblr again (my page lives at jonbeckett.tumblr.com). I know I shouldn’t but I can’t leave it alone. It’s addictive. Imagine Twitter with images, videos, sound, quotes, and full blog posts. Imagine Facebook without family, and no walls – no borders.
Tumblr seems to be filled with creative people – photographers, artists, [...]
I gained access to the Google Wave beta earlier today, and logged in with quite some excitement. If you’ve not heard about Google Wave yet, you have either been living under a stone, or you have a life – you know, a real life, like normal people. I burst through the doors, and while not [...]
When you’re busy fiddling with something interesting, it’s easy to become so engrossed in “the next thing” that you forget all about the trail of things you have been fiddling with previously – that invariably stretch out like a trail of destruction behind you.
We witness it all the time with our children; they are completely [...]
Livejournal? Tumblr? Wordpress? Facebook? MySpace? Twitter?
Which one should I use? All of them? None of them?
I don’t know anything any more. It’s all too much.
End of rant.
I thought it might be interesting to share the results of my week long assault on Tumblr, and it’s ranking system – “Tumblarity”…
After a week of posting, sharing, following, liking, and re-blogging, I have vaulted myself from a nobody to the top 150 users of Tumblr in the UK. I did this on the back [...]
I think I’m finally beginning to get my head around Tumblr. Where Wordpress is designed for wordsmiths – people with a story to tell – Tumblr is designed for people (like me) who find lots of interesting stuff, and wish they had an easy way of storing and sharing it.
I think perhaps the secret behind [...]
You read the title correctly. Given the ever increasing demands on my time over the last month or so, the frequency and quality of my blog posts has hit an all time low. Coinciding with all of this, one of my greatest friends on the internet has switched to Tumblr, and most of my friends [...]
I’ve spent the last hour looking at Tumblr after a far flung friend (laurenmalone.tumblr.com) voiced her admiration of it. I was surprised – she has been hosting her blog on Squarespace for the last couple of years – Squarespace is widely regarded as perhaps the best blogging platform in existence. As an aside, how Lauren [...]
Until I picked up the August 2008 edition of Wired Magazine while commuting home from London, I had no idea who Julia Allison was. It would appear that within the internet microcosm that is New York, with a little help from the Gawker celeb blog, Miss Allison has become quite the internet celebrity.
Most of the [...]
