Sometimes I forget how easy blogging is...
March 10, 2005 1:11 AM
I've gone a while without blogging. Part of it is that blogging has finally become mainstream. Blogging is in the news. It's joked about on the Daily Show. And my dad complains about my lack of new entries. All this means that blogging is no longer cutting edge, and therefore I'm not as interested in it anymore.
My next project?
I haven't decided yet. I've played around hacking some .net code on the Smartphone. It seems to have great untapped potential. And there's more money to be made than just selling ring tones.
I also have some ideas how to improve blogging. Just because I don't write doesn't mean I'm not reading. I'm reading 157 blogs now, via their RSS feeds, using intraVnews. I add a feed about once a week, and remove a stale one about once a month. I read about 1000 entries a day. Tonight it took me an hour, from midnight till 1am. It doesn't scale. The idea I have fixes this problem. I've submitted the concept to Microsoft Research in the hopes I will be able to share it at the Social Computing Symposium 2005.
Oh, and I'll still be blogging. Just maybe not every day.

"It doesn't scale"
Can you elaborate on that, what do you mean?

The more blogs you read, the longer it takes. Eventually it's going to take me all night to read all that blogs I want to follow. Already I've gone from "reading" each new entry to "scanning" - just looking for interesting titles and glancing at include pictures, screenshots, or diagrams.
The worst is that if a blog entry is too long I won't even spend the time to read it. It's more powerful than TV at causing the shortening of one's attention span.

make sure to share your thoughts even if you dont get a chance to present them. I just dont see how you can solve: "The more blogs you read, the longer it takes."
