Yeup. I wish we all went back to blogs and posting stuff to our own sites. There was a barrier to entry for doing this, naturally, but it kept the riff-raff off. There was also a few years of early Twitter days before the general public came on, and it was pretty amazing and useful
I'd rather just have a feed-reader that I manage, and manually subscribe to people's content. Something like how Spokeo or FriendFeed back in the day.... FriendFeed was also awesome. I wish we'd go back to those days.
- reidjs 3y agoIsn’t that what Martin Fowler is sort of doing? Posting on his blog, then advertising on all the platforms.
- taude 3y agoSounds like it. But I personally don't even bother with the feed thing anymore, and I definitely don't use an aggregator or Twitter or any of that. I go to a couple information sources that I expect the good stuff to bubble up to, and spend my 10 or 15 minutes/day with that content. It doesn't feel like there's critical mass keeping rss feeds up to date. And I had a pretty extensive Feely configured for awhile after the google blog reader went away, too.
