  Jorn’s been goaded enough to throw some opinion around. Not just his 5 word opinion, but a really irritated multiple-paragraphs of opinion.

  And so we come full circle. Jorn Barger, coiner of the term ‘blog’, who in retrospect was really writing a linkblog the whole time (though we lacked the context to give it such a relative label), joins the linkblog/linklog fray. Before taking a swipe at boingboing, he rightly points out that the best linklog tool is del.icio.us. And having watched Jorn’s site over the years, growing from manual HTML maintenance, to blogger, via third party RSS scrape-and-bake services, his current del.icio.us-based solution is perfect.

  Why I Tweet. 

  This is a duplicate of a post from last month; you can refer to the identical original if you’d rather, or let me know of a less unpredictable unix blogging client…

  Twitter seems to have been gaining a lot of traction in recent times. Originally a side project of Evan Williams, who begat Blogger as a side project of something else lost in time, it was a solution in search of a wider purpose. But what is it, and what itch does it scratch? (More …)

    I’d rather say twitter, bitte. It’s opt in; there is no obligation to read or deal with a tweet, as is required with spam email. The decision rests entirely with the recipient. The tweet that seems ephemeral to one person may have meaning with another; what it important with Twitter is that it does not block or build up in a queue (as email or RSS aggregation does) – but that it moves on, is replaced.
