My Bad

Like a lot of people, I have been loving twitter. LOVING it. 

Because of twitter, I've stopped using my RSS feed, stopped googling for news, stopped doing lots of things. 

On twitter, I mostly contribute links by re-tweeting - passing on other people's tweets to my followers. 

But recently, this has felt a little... weak. Because one of the OTHER things I've stopped doing is blogging.

That is to say, while I am doing a great job of passing on other people's ideas, I'm not creating - or contributing  - any of my own.

So - a new direction. I've thought about what I appreciate in a blog post, and here's what I've come up with:

• Posts that are brief
• Posts that contain new ideas
• Posts that synthesise broad ideas and patterns
  
• Posts that link to sources
• Posts that have a sense of humour

So that is what I'll try to do. Post regularly, briefly (but in more than 140 characters!), and hopefully, provide something valuable.
