Haven't used this much lately.

Some random reasons perhaps why:

  • I was hoping this would be good for sharing brainstorming-in-the-shower kind of stuff. Unfortunately a) writing conflicts with brainstorming, b) water conflicts with electronics.

  • it feels too isolated. I wish others could add thoughts to my streams.

  • actually, I wish others could annotate/edit my cards inline.

  • in realtime!

  • without any strong social aspect, it's a bit distasteful to me to host essentially static pages on someone else's property

I'm imaging something more like a mashup of Etherpad, Federated Wiki, Github (and/or its Gists) with a visual design and posting interface ecosystem tailored towards some motto like "Thinking Out Loud, Together"

Instead, right now I feel like I would just be setting up a separate commentless microblog for each of my hobbies — which is actually antithetical to my goal of writing quicker, shorter, more frequent posts about everything I'm working on, on my own site.
