quote 17:04:50
[Tumblr] was more of a scrapbook for posting select bits of mixed media, be they mine or somone else’s. But the mixture of my own and other people’s content always felt awkward. Further, being a medium for tumblelogs, written posts longer than a single paragraph feel somewhat out of place. It feels wrong to ask people to devote time and attention to a post on a site that is inherently whimsical in format.
A play with Posterous by James Holloway, late of this borough. The entire post is worth a read; some good points there (although I seem determined to just plough on through, mixing bookmarklets with essays on highwalks).
