Comments on: Practice What You Preach! Five Reasons For Not Wanting A Tumbleblog http://www.kudonomics.com/blog/practice-what-you-preach/ Can You Earn Money With Social Media?

I see a slow change in blog usage. First it were mere blogs with, in general, selected posts (the why and what in your question). But selecting and writing posts took time. Then they 'spiced up' the content with Tweets, Delicious links and Flickr photos in order to keep the content flow steady. People were already using these services anyway, why not maximize the usage of these services. Plus it would do wonders on the Google ranking. But over time people, who do not post that much, change their blogs into tumbleblogs forgetting the why and what. Surely their online activities would represent them enough so they would have to write that much? Consider this post as a monologue why I don't want to have a place where all my online activities are clustered. And yes... finally! My blog is completed! Still need to tweak it here and there but for now I'm happy! Kees, it is indeed a question why and what we post. I see a slow change in blog usage.

Consider this post as a monologue why I don’t want to have a place where all my online activities are clustered.

And yes… finally! My blog is completed! Still need to tweak it here and there but for now I’m happy!

That's exactly the point. You want to filter your publications on relevance concerning the context in which it is presented. There are services which are quite 'harmless' like last.fm, del.icio.us and LinkedIn and there are services which are much more personal like Twitter or Flickr. Your proposed filter based on characters could work, but it adds another layer of micro-management while the whole point of it is having a sort of seamless online-lifeline synchronization. It's a difficult subject which really needs some thought. Maybe we should brainstorm about this in the near future. “Being online is great but the more you publish, the more you want to moderate.”

A possible solution to (5) could be to filter on the content. Tweets, e.g. registered with a ! or other symbol, are not meant for publishing and so are the replies (@). But then you have to be enormously careful what to post. Being online is great but the more you publish, the more you want to moderate. Not towards your strong tie connections such as close friends and family, they can see every step I make. But I'm more concerned about the weak tie connections. People who actually disliked you in high school but still add you to their friend list on Facebook because its been a few years. They don't have to know my struggles or strange embarrassing quirks. On the other hand, they do have to know all of my wonderful life has become in comparison to theirs. I'm glad that my post made you think but I'm sad that you might not release a innovative kind of blog. When are you posting your blog post about this issue? I'm extremely curious about your two cents! Thank you for your kind words Rommert! A possible solution to (5) could be to filter on the content.

You make some very valid points. Like you, I wanted to have a kind-of 'braindump' platform. A place where my online presence scattered throughout all sorts of different webservices converges into one, but you seriously got me rethinking that plan with point 5. At first I figured my online presence is public anyway, so I might as well republish it on my own website. The major trend that can be seen on the internet is social exhibitionism. People are expressing their feelings online, and I have to admit that, unknowingly, I collaborate to this trend as well. Wether I like it or not. After reading your arguments on point 5 it got me thinking: do I really want to make it easy for people to find out who I am? The problem is: as your online presence grows, your online professionalism should grow too and that's a serious pitfall. I'm going to have to dedicate a blog post for this, because it's to much to put in a comment. Anyways, good to see your online presence again. Can't wait until the next post. :) While reading this post a million thoughts popped up. You make some very valid points. Like you, I wanted to have a kind-of ‘braindump’ platform.
