What is .random[net]?
I will do my best at describing how the “new” .random[oid] will work and how you can navigate it.
A WordPress blog and a Twitter page is kind of like night and day. On Twitter you work within a 140 character limit, and on WordPress you kind of have no limits at all. Sometimes you need something in between. ou just want to say something quickly, but it’s not as short as 140 characters; and it’s a bit too short to be posted on a WordPress blog (which is my opinion). This is where Tumblr fits perfectly. On Tumblr you just quickly post something, but you’re not limited to 140 characters.
Some days I felt to post something longer than 140 characters, but I personally felt it was too simple and short to be posted on my WordPress blog; and vice versa.
This is of course just a trial, but as of now I think it will stay for a great while.
This setup helps me focus better on what I’m posting and where I’m posting it.
Now let’s see how I intend to use it and how you will find my content.
On .random[oid] @ Wordprerss (which is here) I will only post longer articles. Posts from Tumblr and especially Twitter will not be posted here, but on the right you will find a short feed from Twitter (or you can follow me, which is easier).
On .random[oid] @ Tumblr you find links to article on .random[oid] @ Wordprerss (like this one), but mainly it will be a collection of short rants and what not, that (as I’ve said) I don’t feel is suitable on .random[oid] @ Wordprerss or .random[oid] @ Twitter. Nothing from Twitter will be posted here, except the tiny feed on the left.
On .random[oid] @ Twitter I will post What ever I feel needs to be shared from .random[oid] @ Tumblr and just keep on posting my regular random rants.
I hope this explains a bit more how the .random[net] works and how you can navigate within it.
Enjoy.
Really glad to hear you’ll still be blogging! I think your setup sounds like a great idea.
