Starting this new blog on tumblr forced me to reflect on the relationship between blogging and micro blogging.
The big increase in use of Twitter, Jaiku and to some extend facebook has ushered in the new phenomenon of micro blogging. The video outlines the concept of micro-blogging pretty well. It can in many ways be seen as blogging for lazy people.
I’ve decided to start a (micro) blog on tumblr because I see it as a good balanced mix between traditional ordinary blogs like blogger and wordpress on one end and twitter on the other end.
I’ve already tried ordinary blogging a couple of years ago but pretty quickly learned that I couldn’t master creating regular updates. So moving towards a micro blogging format hopefully allows me to post shorter reflecting posts on all that I come across and what interests me, while having a tight daily schedule.
With this tumblrblog I get the best of both worlds
