A new arrival - Shared Creation Expands
I haven’t talked about the ongoing development of Shared Creation in a while. Mostly this is because after my initial experiments it has settled down into a cycle of posting material and running routine maintenance. The end result has been a growing readership and increased exposure to interesting material for myself. Of course there are also my other projects that I cover on Shared Creation. These also move at their own rate. Everything it seems has its natural pace, and whilst pace can be increased, natural development does have a nice feel to it.
Until that is something new comes along.
Something new has come along.
I’d like to introduce you to http://sharedcreation.tumblr.com/ AKA the Shared Creation Tumblelog.
I spend a lot of time online and thought it might be interesting to have a place where I can publicly file away interesting stories and images. Just a random stream of discoveries that don’t easily fit into the rest of Shared Creation but is related and good to see.
Of course what I don’t want to see is to have a grand idea and to not follow it through. So before announcing it I set the target of 5 entries per week - and I found that to be a good posting number and easy to achieve. From now on - there will be 5 entries per week in the tumblelog. In truth this is a new idea - and a definite experiment, but I have an idea it will work out.
You may be asking why I didn’t host it myself in Shared Creation. There are three reasons. First it was an instant set up, with a great system for making instant entries. Take a look at tumblr.com - its a great way of instantly posting information. Secondly - as Shared Creation gets more readers it makes sense to move an experimental new section into off site bandwidth. Allowing the new addition to find it’s feet without my bandwidth getting any larger. Finally of course - by making the tumble blog independent it has a chance of bringing more readers in.
So take a look at http://sharedcreation.tumblr.com/ I hope you like it.
