12 days of microblogging: linkblogging
Micro.blog adds a Markdown link back to the original post with the web page title. Or if there’s text selected, Micro.blog includes that text as a quote.
Good. But wish it included the Markdown link irrespective of text selection. @manton
While recording the second episode of the microcast, I realised it is difficult to get a consistent tone in my voice across attempts. Every attempt sounded different - and every tone modified the environment the story played out in. It had to be done in single stretch.
Social community that you decide to be part of, matters. And this fact remains true even online. Every time I scroll through the Micro.blog timeline, I realise that the place is full of creators. So each visit inspires me to create more. It matters what you read.
The second episode of Third-Person Voice is out.
He anticipates this to be the best day of his life. He wants to relive this same day repeatedly. She believes she can help him. And help herself.
From a social, civic and individual empowerment perspective ceding control of fundamental online infrastructure to a single company is terrible. This is why Mozilla exists.
Microsoft adopts Chromium, and Mozila’s not impressed. We need competition.
I enjoy the cricket matches in Australia. They start broadcasting very early in India, and end conveniently for me to begin my workday. Especially if it is a test-match series against India.
No company launches as many chat services as Google shutdowns every few years. Hangouts first, Allo now. They just can’t their strategy for messaging right. And they seem to be driven too much by engineers to say no to a new one being launched.
Aha, the microcast Third-Person Voice is approved by Apple and is available on iTunes now. Do subscribe, of course, only if you want to join me as I struggle with, but attempt to get better at narrating the short stories I write. Hope this goes as planned.🤞🏽🙂
I am always split on supporting both a dark and light mode of one’s website, especially for the text-heavy one. I think one should decide what the design for her site is to be - users have reading modes in the browsers where they can select how they want to view the text.
