  • Micro-blogging: 3 years later… (5 years in)

    It’s been three years since the last time I posted about micro-blogging. Since then Google Buzz has been killed off, Google Plus has taken its place, Tumblr has arrived on the scene, and Identica doesn’t exist in the same way as it once did. I’m also using KDE now, so I went from using Gwibber…

  • Micro-blogging: 2 years later…

    Almost exactly 2 years ago I started micro-blogging. Back then I signed up for Twitter, Pownce, and Plurk accounts. One month later I concluded that I really liked Twitter and that Pownce and Plurk were annoying.

  • Pownce is Dead, Long Live Twitter

  • Micro-blogging: One Month Later

    It’s been about a month since I signed up for a bunch of micro-blogging websites. So what do I think after about a month? Let me start off with Twitter. In my first look at the micro-blogs I had some pretty good feelings about Twitter. That has basically carried over for the past few weeks.…

  • A Macro-blog Post about Micro-blogging

    I’ve known about micro-blogging for 1-2 years now – ever since I first started hearing about Twitter. Up until now I’ve been vehemently against the whole micro-blogging trend. To begin with, it requires anyone who wants to keep up with my writing to check yet another website! On top of that, I just can’t see…
