This micro nano-blog is intended as a lo-media content repository for those small addenda that spill over from individual tweets - such as tweets longer than the 140 character limit - and for solely text-based blog posts.
If my blogs were to be recombined into one master mold, the pages would be too heavy for your browsers to reasonably spend time loading.

As of approx 18hrs ago, the twittering overlords admitted to database malfunctions affecting proper display of the timeline.
It’s untrue that this is the premise for the next episode of “Dr Who”; as has been their claim that repetition of the issue was unlikely.
All silent on the information front, as Twitter continues to follow Apple in keeping users ignorant of it’s service status.
The original timeline was restored, approx 20hrs after tweets went missing. Naturally I assumed the service functioning fully again. How foolish, how naive. For, once more, Twitter has cast an invisibility spell on my tweetstream. If there’s a point where science & magic become indistinguishable, this may be it.
Fifteen and counting tonight; which prompted me to start this Tumblog.
Whether it will be used as a blog, and not a scrapbook, hasn’t been decided. Though the ease of it’s setup is most appealing. I’m not after something pretty at this stage, just something that isn’t a hassle to administer (are you listening, Twitter?).
All the same, Tumblr has misplaced two audio & one video emailed posts; and the associated Vimeo account failed to convert one avi video. So social media isn’t looking like the future today.
Good Lord, Twitter you HAVE lost the original of the post below ALREADY. Check your calendar: April 1st isn’t for another couple of weeks, you know.
Update: 35 tweets errant. THIRTY-FIVE! The “twit” in “twitter” is taking on a whole old meaning.
I assume the terms “following”/”followers” derive from the concept of this social network as an information stream, rather than denoting hierarchical status. So one immerses oneself in the stream - following a conversation, or initiating one by posting something of such vast interest that others feel moved to respond. For me, Twitter acts as a mix of notice board & pen pal. I cannot dismiss your observation, though, that all that is physically occurring is reading & writing. I can’t comment on whether my scribes would make for engaging readng, however.
