(https://maya.land) | | This is a really cool list especially because it shows how varied | people's aims are. Some people want a certain golden era of | Twitter/Foursquare-type social media, but under their own | control. Some people want to stretch the format of blogs beyond | that of feeds. Some people want to go all-in on feeds and see | what they can squeeze out of them. Some people are dicking around | with RSS because they just like it. Blogging shouldn't all look | like different styles of Wordpress. | rchaud wrote: | I thought the same thing. This is a cool list simply by way of | the variety on display. It's remarkable how people can organize | their thoughts in unique ways, when they aren't held back by | the one-size-fits-all layouts of blog themes and social media | account pages. | [deleted] | Zanni wrote: | Ah, I really like the /now page movement from Derek Sivers: | https://sive.rs/nowff | bombcar wrote: | Reminds me of .plan and finger. | nicbou wrote: | That was a really fun list.

I don't know if anyone | ever cared to chase them. | rchaud wrote: | You could consider adding something personal to spice it up. | With the exception of website comments (which few people bother | to leave), blogs are usually a read-only experience. | rektide wrote: | From one example.. I spent a summer hacking a great last.fm | server together & oops i deleted the damned thing by accident. | This was a decade ago, but still pains me. Idiot. | electricair wrote: | Really fun list.
