Public Discourse Experiment

From now (June 7, 11:52 PDT) any and all ostensibly public discourse will first appear hæar. Twitter tweets, cafe-blue messages, seesmic vids, all here first. (And if I can't put it here I don't need to say it/show it/&c).

Sounds painful-- why not use syndication streams and feed them in FROM those places? That's one of the purposes of feeds, after all.

The email thing I understand, but since I know most of my posts in such places wouldn't make sense bereft of contexts (same as blog comments), I don't see the point.

Probably will be painful. It's just an experiment. See what it's like. I f ound myself arguing, tentatively, speculatively, that it didn't make sense to me to count on aggregating stuff scattered to the winds if we aren't willing to archive it beforehand.

That's the starting post of a converastion on seesmic. I think you can browse to this link and follow the full thread.

Also, I realize as I go along that my definition is suspect. For instance, I don't feel the need to put emails on the blog, it turns out, because my email auto-archives to a local backup copy. Likewise anything in my domains. By contrast, anything on services like twitter, facebook, linkedin, that data is captured and captive unless I first take measures to have a local copy.

Experimentin' to learn.

ps: I'm the only one who's likely to get away with putting objects in the comments because I can manually fix the tag stripping my blogware does for me.
