beyond blogging...
Recently a friend commented on the lack of content I've posted here lately. There are a few reasons for this, but for the most part this has been to do the inefficiency of the blogging medium to the way I've been using the internet over the last year.
I normally read my feeds, then set aside relevant bookmarks to post about. Getting around to post that actual entry is another matter altogether. The idea of bookmark sharing services has always interested me, so when I found out one was integrated into the feed reader I was already using I thought now would be a good time to get on the train.
So, take a look to the right and you'll see things I've recently chosen to 'share' - the best of the best of what I've come across lately online. There's a few kinks I'd like to work out on this one: syndicating this for those who don't visit the page might be tricky, and the comments that I've put in to give the entries some context are only viewable if you click on 'read more' which takes you to the proper shared links page.
This is just one of the many changes I plan to make to this thing as I move into I'm tempted to pretentiously call the 'post-blog' phase of woolcovered dot com. In the next update, I'll be exploring what this means for 'reviewing' music.

Nice. Not as nice as delicious, but probably pretty efficient for you.
I've now subscribed to the rss feed of the reader of an rss feed reader. Its like some kind of M.C. Escher art piece now.

Glad you approve, sis. :)
And yeah qed, I don't doubt there are better services out there. This reader does leave a little to be desired. I'm admittedly a little new to the social bookmarks scene, but you hit the nail on the head Re: efficiency. I was actually thinking of asking you about it, so I'll make a point to check out del.icio.us to see if implementing it will be much more of a hassle.

k, not sure how to comment on your comments about the articles, but that cow/deer compass thing is F@CKED UP. Creepy...

You raise an interesting point, Nicole. I suppose it would be more comment friendly (and digestible to those who read this through a feed or Facebook) if I had it occasionally dump the links into an entry...this is something I'll consider.
