Revisiting my blog and now I remember why this disappeared in favor of centralized microblogging
- Feed building work is split between me (building a blog roll) and the reader (importing my blog roll). Thats a 4 hour ask and a 30 minute ask
- The people who write are split among blogs, newsletters, traditional media and books- You can't actually read all this in one reader
- The best content arrives with 2 & 10 year gaps
- Paywalls, so many paywalls
- Spending 30 minutes futzing with HTML/CSS

And I can't actually write about the stuff that the people in the blog roll write about. If I write about how PM's should manage their team, someday that link will get mailed to a PM and there will be meetings about how corporate communications have to go thru approvals, etc.
