Luke ‘n’ Kim

more web2.0 fluff

so i’ve just hit 500 twitter posts!

crazy huh, i’m glad i’m on a capped mobile plan so i don’t have to think about the money that would’ve gone through twitter in more than a year… all in all;

• it’s been fun,
• i’m not that addicted,
• it’s useful for miniblogging,
• i’ve seen some excellent random links,
• the outages don’t really annoy me,
• still no ads, great!
• i’m not that much of a freak!
• mtub peeps are pretty cool.

so yeah, i’ll keep doing it, and encouraging others to, even if i can’t answer the their question “what’s the point?” easily. i guess the thing is not to over-think it. which is hard for me.

updated twitterstats:

in the spirit of random internet stuffs, i have succumbed to the enormous pressure and created a tumblelog…

“wow luke, um, what’s that?”

i’m glad you asked, quoth the wiki:

“…is a variation of a blog that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumblelogs include links, photos, quotes, dialogues, and video. Unlike blogs, tumblelogs are frequently used to share the author’s creations, discoveries, or experiences while providing little or no commentary…”

i’m going to use it to collect and post random interesting stuff i find on the web, but unlike the full-on wordpress style blog, the tumblr will just be a stream of pics, vids, quotes and links… so it’ll be just like my digg favorites, only not. ie, in one place and fully customised…
