I'm anxious to see the "good pictures" that come from microblogging. In my stream so far, <a href="http://www.shaviro.com/Blog" rel="nofollow">Steven Shaviro</a>'s micro-reviews are great (he's using the medium in an interesting way, as opposed to just posting whatever), <a href="http://www.warrenellis.com" rel="nofollow">Warren Ellis</a> is always great, and <a href="http://xeni.net" rel="nofollow">Xeni Jardin</a>'s posts are consistently fun. I guess interesting writers remain interesting in single servings. Great analogy, Ryan. I’m anxious to see the “good pictures” that come from microblogging.

It's sort of like when I first figured out that taking as many pictures as I wanted with a digital camera didn't cost any more. I was so used to being away of the price per photo before that I spent more time planning out my shots. Then I went through a phase of shooting anything and everything. I've refined my skills a bit with digital photography, now I just need to with micro blogging. Micro blogging has helped me post about the most ridiculous stuff.
