Jtosh.com | the T is silent.

Its been around 3 months since I last updated Jtosh.com. Yet daily I find myself using things such as friendfeed, twitter, google reader’s share functionality, sharing links on The Facebook and other social media outlets. Has micro-blogging and social media killed my ability to blog?

I am not saying that I was ever a very successful blogger or a profound blogger, but there was a time when I did enjoy working on this site quiet regularly. Now with all the other outputs for my thoughts and rantings, where does the blog fit into it. I’ve been working on that idea in my head and have not yet come up with a good solution. The main point of this blog has always been to experiment with new technologies mainly related to word press, however I’ve done some drupal testing and other environments on here as well.

I also have a tumblelog which I have never really found a use for yet the whole idea of tumbler is so intriguing to me. Over the last few years I’ve had it indexing all sorts of RSS feeds, from my flickr, to this blog, to my twitter, and it just gets messy and confusing as feeds overlap and everything is cross posting everywhere else. Yet as I stated previously I find tumblr to be a very cool concept. With all the different ways you can post, including the new addition of audio posts, its just neat. Still working on what to use that one for.

So back to where we started. Still trying to find a use for this little hole in the wall, I’ve never had many readers, if anyone is still even subscribed to this feed other than myself its probably Brandon, and he’s about as good at updating as I am. *hint hint nudge nudge delicious plugin abuser!*. Maybe I’ll actually start using it again, I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to do more blogging from a mobile platform either through my ipod touch or through my phone, as sometimes I cant sum up everything I want to say into 140 charecters.

I guess only time will tell, file this one with the other posts saying I am going to do something with this blog.
