On info dumps  


Dougal notes that he has ditched the daily Twitter posts:

“Just as with my daily del.icio.us link posting experiment in the past, I have decided to discontinue my automated daily Twitter summary.”

By all that is precious in this world, thank-you. If I want to read your tweets, I’ll follow you. If I want to see your daily del.icio.us hoarding, I’ll subscribe to that feed too.

Blogs that I once read every day — often with quite some anticipation — have become at best a catch-all for random comment, pointless new-media fads and scraped mindless regurgitation, all of which have their own place and time.

I cannot help but echo Shawn Blanc, who perhaps said it best — “I want to read what you have to say.”
