“But knowledge-building doesn’t work that way. And saving content into some archive doesn’t either. I’m guilty of this myself. Having used Evernote for a decade I was used to saving everything I wanted to remember into the tool. I sorted and curated, tagged, and sometimes even highlighted content. But I fell victim to the Collectors Fallacy. Because you collected something doesn’t mean you learned it or are able to explain it.”

I remember Dave Winer writing on his blog something to the effect that he was using Twitter as his notebook and that that was a “Mistake”,
Because he should be using his own blog to do that, and to not default to Twitter, a silo.
So I searched his site using DuckDuckGo, and the results were useless, all out of context, which is exactly what Ken Smith so eloquently described earlier today.
Ah right, I should be using Dave Winer’s own Search Engine tool, Daytona, rather than an external one, to find it :
http://daytona.scripting.com/?q=mistake&collection=scriptingnews
Didn’t find what I was looking for.
However the search results between ContextLess DuckDuckGo and the Abundance of Richness in Context was night and day.
Perhaps that’s why it’s called Daytona ?
Didn’t find what I was originally looking for, I believe it’s because Daytona cannot presently search back more than a fixed number of recent years of the Scripting News archives.
This one line These two lines more than any other jumped out at me,
“… All ways of writing a blog, without actually writing a blog.”
“… All in the service that the idea of blogging was something worthwhile in itself, rather than actually doing it.”
Posting this as reminder to myself to not NOT write [sic].

“…Instagram feels less like Blogspot, and more like Livejournal. You don’t read it for debate or argument, but to know what your friends are doing and feeling. Most Instagram blogging requires a certain amount of innate sympathy to find compelling. But opening the app can be a nice return to an older internet, where people felt more open and less paranoid about sharing the endearing ordinariness of their everyday lives online.”

“…launching a side project may take less time and effort than writing a blog post, while returning an outcome that is equal to dozens of blog posts in most cases. ”
“Give Something Valuable Away in Order to Sell Something Related.”
“…a value that is related to our core business that we build on the side without losing our main focus.”
“It’s more likely you’ll use a good product many times than read a good blog post many times. This repeated usefulness is what makes software products so valuable. With a blog, you need to continually produce content at a high level and high rate to keep people coming back. This is possible, it just takes longer,”
“Side projects come with many other benefits. You can use them as a way to test new ideas instead of confusing your product offering by adding a new feature to your core product.”
“It is not rocket science: People don’t really care about your business unless you give them a reason to. But they start to care once you start doing the legwork that helps them or creates value.
“… this means focusing on creating awesome stuff that doesn’t even feel like marketing in the first place.

“Blogging is so dead that Facebook and Twitter are joining Medium in trying to take it over.” — Dan Gillmor

“Several studies, most notably by the Harvard Business School and Sysomos, have tried to analyze the user behaviour on microblogging services.[9][10] Several of these studies show that for services such as Twitter, there is a small group of active users contributing to most of the activity.[11] Sysomos’ Inside Twitter [10] survey, based on more than 11 million users, shows that 10% of Twitter users account for 86% of all activity.”
( Reading the above paragraph on Wikipedia, I just realized, the “1” in the 1-9-90 Rule when applied to Twitter, is really the People NOT on Twitter. The “9” are the People who are Linking TO or Tweeting ABOUT the Stuff found off-twitter written/blogged by that “1” Percent of Twitter “Users”. )

“…Mainly, Facebook happened. Constructing social networks by blogging takes work. You have to read, respond, post. You have to stay on top of the topics sweeping through what used to be called the “blogosphere.” Facebook is much better at building social networks for people. And you don’t have to spend serious time writing essays. Twitter lowered the character count further.”
“…In fact, blogs now often are where the most interesting ideas are surfaced, argued, and appropriated into a discipline’s discourse. Unlike the output in scholarly journals and magazines, in these webs of blogs we get to see ideas emerging from conversation among people sharing what in the old days we’d take as early drafts. These webs allow participation by people regardless of credentials, enabling voices to rise to their own level of credibility. “
