The "Fred Wilson School Of Blogging"
- cemerick 15y agoHave a short form blog an a different domain that you own and is permanent. Mine is at fredwilson.vc and hosted on Tumblr. This is where I put the things that fill out the story but don't belong on a long form blog. I've never quite grasped the value/purpose of a "short form blog". Looking at Mr. Wilson's doesn't really help — a daily photo, or a quote or two? I suppose I could put stuff like that into an aside[1], but twitter seems way more convenient for such things. Maybe I just have limited bandwidth for the "social" thing. [1] http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-formats/ http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-formats/
- mashmac2 15y agoI would suggest that Twitter is a 'short form blog', albeit in a very short form. Of course, you could certainly use it as not-a-blog, but you could also use tumblr as not-a-blog if you liked.
- beza1e1 15y agoI have this "short form blog" about compiler stuff [0]. It consists mostly of links i encounter, mixed up with job offerings, quotes, etc. I chose tumblr, because it allows me to markup things like quotes appropriately. This is not about being social, but more of a between personal notebook. If somebody else would produce something like that I'd probably terminate mine.
