Performative blogging

<p>Most blogs (new replaced by newsletters) serve a purpose. Either to establish a person as a thought leader, to establish a company as trustworthy, or because someone wants to sell something. </p> <p>This means there is <a class="wikilink" href="/measuring_performance_using_single_criteria/">performance criteria</a> that can be optimized, which in turn means content, format, topics, are tailored towards them. </p> <p>I see a public <a class="wikilink" href="/digital_garden/">digital garden</a> as a space without extrinsic metrics. I still see my garden as a <a class="wikilink" href="/learning_in_public/">learning in public</a> experiment. Fair, the impact is minimal, but it makes me feel somewhat proud that my thoughts are reachable by anyone with enough patience. </p> <p>Blogging has a place which, by no means, has been eroded by digital gardens. Organized thoughts and well researched topics add value to the readers.</p>
