Branching Silhouette
@manton on the tags debate, tags, or something like them, would make things like the photo challenge a lot simpler to organise and play with. Perhaps the tags as taxonomy as opposed to inline tag would avoid more tags than text pollution?

Reading and loving: Micro.blog and Micro-Communities
But there is something about an informal collection of independent blogs by people with a shared passion that makes for a much better micro-community experience than social networks or other online group platforms. I’ve experienced this first-hand with a couple of blogging communities I’ve participated in: an informal network of blogs by adoptive parents and the pen and paper enthusiast blog community.
Micro.blog and Micro-Communities
I’ve had a huge amount of learning and pleasure out of both tightly bound and loose knit online communities. Doug’s post shows how of a network of Blogs owned by individuals can be better than a silo and points out the need for hashtags or other connective tissue.
Micro blogs with webmentions one part of improving the online conversation. A method or methods for discovery and group participation would be another.
I can’t recommend micro.blog enough. It has really helped me think about my online activity in many new ways. You can get involved for free and lose nothing by joining and playing.
micro.blog is now open to all. I’d recommend it if you are interested in blogging & your relationship to silos. This post By Colin Walker Micro.blog open to all is a good entry point to understanding micro.blog.
