I think dcurtis should not be vilified for "seeking external validation". He is building up Internet capital, turning google juice into a brand. No one claims Warren Buffet is seeking external validation for building up his capital?
A while back I realised I was emailing myself ideas (for essays, just random interesting connections) with the hope I would one day go back and turn them into articles and put them up. guess what?
so I now have a wordpress app on my phone and I force myself to take an extra minute to turn a two sentence thought into a two paragraph idea. so I have actually published ideas - and I will pull actual longer, researched, articles from there.
what I think twitter does not provide, and is I think the next evolution of twitter use, is 140 characters as a pull-quote. You cannot fit a thought into 140 characters but you often can fit a headline.
someone notes on here that there are already a lifetime of insightful essays available - bit where are they? how do I find them and especially find them at the right time ?
Discovery as a search function is still in its infancy - I probably do want google to know what I am thinking so it can give me the essays that will most help expand those thoughts.
