Here is the brand spanking new Larry Sanger Microblog, which lives at a domain I had sitting around doing nothing: http://StartThis.org. As you’ll see, it looks a little like a social media feed. I simply downloaded a theme, then spent the day fixing it up so it looked more or less right like a microblog. I limit myself to 280 characters. That helps.
You can comment in response, if you like. Try to keep your responses to 280 characters!
I am soon going to start working with a developer on a proper WordPress plugin for microposting. But this will probably take several weeks (so he says). Therefore, in the meantime, I thought I’d go ahead and just use WordPress like a social media site.
I am hosting the microblog on my own NAS, which means the microposts are being served right out of my office. Talk about owning your own data! And an especially cool thing, I guess, is that it works fine, it was not hard to install and configure (on Synology, anyway), and—if you can believe it—it’s not slow!
[…] World, meet the Larry Sanger Microblog, where I can be incredibly offensive and nobody can shut me up. They can ignore me, though! Explained at greater length on my macroblog. […]
Awesome
Arizona in the house… referred by Sheryl’s blog… see how that works!
Delivered straight to my rss 🙂
Great!
Wonderful, best wishes – will keep watching your blogs for news! Decentralization does make accumulation of centralized power very difficult if not impossible – and that’s one of our worst problems now. (I’m a nobody, but I’m not stupid!)
Okay I’m in, I just don’t quite understand what you’re describing. You are smarter or more technically savvy than the average bear.
Great!
Interesting.
I’m here!
