Can’t argue with that, but I will 😉 Mine saves me time, ’cause I can refer to, writing posts especially one I don’t publish let me think through things and a lot of my posts are tweets too, like this one. I am sad when resources are only shared on twitter and lost in the stream.
“@johnjohnston @Miss_Anderson @athole @StephenReidEdu @IanStuart66 @claganach I have no time to write a blog ”
Me too, it saves time as blogs keep content grouped with explanatory text/illustrations, easy to search, easy to link
Malcolm’s blog is one of the best arguments for blogs & #GlowBlogs there is.
I know I know. Been talking about doing a blog for two years…I did start one, got caught up in the layout stuff and never came back to it. Maybe I need to try again.
And always grateful for help from blogging guru @johnjohnston
Two of my favourite bloggers right here
Perhaps not necessarily ‘lost’ John, but as @claganach implied, decidedly harder to find?
I guess few folks make much use of the ‘archiving’/cataloguing’ features such as Moments & Bookmarks? And Liking of course seems to have been repurposed from Favoriting.
Well I like a bit of hyperbole ;-). I also archive tweets, on git & local. Back in 2008, I blogged about “an unreasonable desire to keep everything on our own site” johnjohnston.info/blog/wikis/ still my pretty unreasoned gut feeling 😉 I am a packrat.

I was joshing about that last night:
re: I have no time to write a blog
There are a ton of great resources and ideas for teaching zooming past on twitter at the moment. It would be great for some to go to a slower stream or garden.
Virginia Trioli asked the question, what have you learned from living in lockdown? I have learnt that it is very difficult to do ‘deep work’ without a wife, especially when you are trying to work in a shared space. It can be easy to say you do not have the time, but I have found finding physical and mental space a bigger challenge.

Responding to John Johnston’s discussion of the value of blogging as a space for sharing, Ian Guest wonders about the various features associated with Twitter.

One thing I wonder about sharing spaces is not what is technically possible – Twitter actually includes quite a few features to help users, such as hashtags, saved searches, bookmarks and moments to name a few – the question is how easy is it to personally mine this information and subsequently build upon it? This was the point that both Cal Newport and Austin Kleon have recently touched upon, sharing the power of a space of one’s own.
