Will Richardson has announced that he is discontinuing blogging on Weblogg-Ed (though the archives will remain up) and moving his online activity to Tumblr (under the http://willrichardson.com/ URL). Why? "It’s become a struggle to blog in long form here. Yet I’ve not found the short form of Twitter to be anywhere close to a substitute for the extended conversations that take place here." Tumblr, he writes,"hits a sweet spot that I’ve been looking for for a while." Of course, from my perspective, I see Tumblr as a service that allows people to create the sort of post I've been creating here in OLDaily. The major difference is that people don't have to mess with RSS - "subscriptions are disguised simply as follows on Tumblr, making it all the more simple." Of course, you have to be on Tumblr to "follow". Nothing's perfect. Tumbler's definitely worth exploring, though.
