Old Stuff: Blogs and MySpace.
New Stuff: Twitter and Facebook.
For most internet residents, actually writing that out is obvious and lame. However, it’s one thing that normal and business people need to know.
Between two years ago and now, the old saying has become even more true: “No one wants to read your crappy blog.” Everyone wants instant information. We want it boiled down and scannable, distilled and wrapped in a clean API. We don’t have time to read about your cat, unless it takes less than 5 seconds to do it.
I’m not complaining about the current state of affairs, I’m just pointing out the simple truth.
Rather than making false claims about updating my blog more, I’ll mention that if I am able to spend more time on this personal site, it will be in the form of more useful information, like setting up development environments, and random frameworks.
