Input wanted: posting short stuff

[kpreid]

I've been having a lot of thoughts lately I'd like to publish, but seem a little bit too short for A Blog Post. Some options

1. Considered signing up for Twitter. Pro: short stuff is expected there; participating in the hot new thing; people interested in short-form will be on twitter and using the follow feature. Con: Reliability problems; YA thing to manage credentials and backup for; no hyperlinks; my favorite username is taken.
2. I could post stuff here. Particularly, LJ supports titleless posts.
3. I could use some other site, or build my own publishing system. [er, why?]

On reflection, I'm thinking to just post the stuff here and not have yet-another-distinct-place/site.

Readers, what would you prefer?

remember when you used to just go to the coffee machine and chat with whomever was there, in that sort of situation?

Soup

soup.io (http://soup.io) is neat. Make sure you join the the Lisp soup (http://lisp.soup.io).

Has a huge tech user base, runs on open software(if you care about such things), http://identi.ca/kpreid is available and you can run your own(http://status.net/).

There is juick.com. It is dominated by russian speakers, but it is sort-of tweeter that allows interaction through jabber messenger.

Twitter

Hello!

Out of those options either Twitter or this site. If your short stuff is Twitter-short, I'd prefer it.

I suspect short-ish posts here may be the best option. Not everything needs to be massively long, but I do find that <= 140 characters is usually a bit short for other than making pleasant noise.

It's your blog; I doubt anyone will object if you post whatever you want :)

Though it may be best to avoid title-less posts; they don't play nice with some readers and aggregators.

Thumbs down to twitter. How about having a "short comments" or (in the style of the big bloggers) "open thread" post once in a while, then add comments to the comments thread as they occur to you.

I'm quite fond of tumblr and use it incessantly, but it's more for "check out this crazy shit I found today" among a band of friends rather than "here I post some deep thoughts for posterity". I haven't looked at soup or identi.ca, but why not just stick with posting here? We already keep up with it, and it has a nice commenting system.

For anyone interested in the outcome, I did sign up for Twitter (@switchborg (https://twitter.com/switchborg)), but I don't use it much, and I do post some not so much short as less significant stuff on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/118427525351956039673/posts).
