Thoughts on Micro.blog

I annually review the places I write at -- whether long pieces, or short pieces, or a few words, or just images.

One of these was a foray with Micro.blog, and I was wondering whether it might replace either Wordpress or Twitter (spoiler: it didn’t)


It is an admirable blogging/writing environment, and I really appreciate it’s open nature and the way that it effortlessly sinks in the background with a git repo, so that everything is version-controlled.

However, I didn’t end up consolidating everything into micro.blog.

One of my main efforts is trying to use fewer sites in general, and be less fragmented there, and I needed to make a hard decision on what to keep and what to drop.

Looking at the way that I’ve used all of these in the past, I would say that WordPress is not going anywhere, and neither is Twitter.

Therefore, I’m going to turn down my usage of microblog and migrate it to WordPress.
