Between Blogging and Micro-blogging

We’re all familiar with blogs (hint: this is one). We’re also all reasonably familiar with what’s popularly termed micro-blogging, a la Twitter. But what happens when you want to write something that’s kind of in the middle?

I’m making a simple attempt to fill the gap with what I’m appropriately calling mini-blogging: short blog posts with all of their content “above the fold” (ie, no “(more)” link). This is one right here, and you can certainly expect to see more in the near future.

    Isn’t the gap platforms like Tumblr or Posterous intend to fill? With following/followers, the lack of comment fields, etc… I really see Tumblr as the middleman between Twitter and Wordpress ;-)

    It probably is, but this works fine for me. :P I wanted a way to do it without using a new tool.

    Make sense, especially with a blog named “Short Thoughts” :P
