I’m not saying this blog, but the concept is on its way out.*
Just as Facebook will go to its long goodnight as its users go to other sites, some leaving because they just want to make pithy comments passing other peoples’ content around, share photos of their lunch, or turn the idea of a newsletter inside-out, there are better sites for all these things than one’s own blog, and each of them comes with a strength the independent blog does not: a built-in community. Unless you’re one of my five friends, or came across this site looking for an (increasingly outdated) way to customize the RSS output of a Drupal feed, then odds are you aren’t even reading this.
I’m the man in the high castle, the fool on the hill, who built a fortress around himself, and wondered why no one ever visited.
But don’t worry… as per my habit, I’m behind the times — I haven’t even listened to ArtPop yet — so I figure timtoon.com still has a few years left in it.
*Todd would say this sentiment itself is outmoded.
