I have told Doc about Micro Blog - but still he is not here … but he does have a 1999 presence ( thanks to his good buddy @dave ) which he touches occasionally like this one … and this is one of the things I still think we would benefit from in micro.blog - just not sure how easy it is …. or if I am on some wacky backy.

What Doc seems to have done here is write a post in 1999 - and then published it - and it flowed into the RSS stream. THEN he updated the post and the RSS updated. And then he did it again … and it updated again.

Or am I nuts?

Maybe @brentsimmons has an idea since I think outside of Dave, he understands this world better than all.

any other blot people I am missing from the micro blog [blot community] - looks like we have a total of 22 people and 24 sites - although not all of those are linked - let me know if you want to add yours.

GREAT NEWS - I cannot see the shores on the other side of the Bay.

That’s great because a few days ago I couldn’t then either - but now it is because of the rain - not the smoke.

That said … mixed blessings up where the fires are still burning.

I think it is important

… I guess BizCatalyst feels the same way,

When somebody writes

”But sometimes writers looking for a story don’t fully understand what they are talking about.

‘Maybe I will go?’ Trump floats idea of attending correspondents' dinner

Better question …

Do we really care?

Robert Reich — Break Up Facebook and while We’re At It, Google, Apple and Amazon

I don’t often disagree with Reich, but this is definitely an exception.

1. Stop reading Galloway.
2. It’s Alphabet not Google.
3. FAANG … HOW COME Netflix is off the hook?

4) Why?

Workflow Thoughts …. seems to me that my link publishing process gets slowed down by forcing myself to publish to drafts and then when time permits move that draft into a published folder with comments. Comments aren’t always necessary. Time to change.

W00t … it’s raining …
