Fortified with Vitamin W
Published 5 March 2008
Hi! You've stumbled upon a blog post by a guy named Ryan. I'm not that guy anymore, but I've left his posts around because cool URIs don't change and to remind me how much I've learned and grown over time.
Ryan was a well-meaning but naïve and priviledged person. His views don't necessarily represent the views of anyone.
I've been experimenting with tumblelogging (aka microbloging, aka link logging) at my brand-spanking new bookmarks site, and it turns out I very much like it. I come across tons of fascinating reads/quotes/random thoughts, and this seems to be a great way to share them. I also like the idea of owning my information: while I love the interfaces of FaceboTwit.icio.kcr, I'm going to try and move my data into my own databases, and then find interesting ways of sharing it.
Yahoo! Pipes is great for doing mash-ups like this, and so I've taken the step of fortifying my Atom feed with Vitamin Webernet—infused with tumblelogs, Flickr photos, and del.icio.us links (deprecated). I had thought about adding my Twitter tweets as well, but the result was a bit obnoxious. If this seems like way too much Ryan for your tastes, switch to the RSS feed instead.
