Facing facts, I don’t blog. Not much. When I do it’s in sporadic bursts between periods of being very busy and periods of being disinterested. That’s opposed to having some gloriously valuable essay is permanent percolation.

That is not to say I don’t think of things, though, and in the interests of actually exposing them, I’m going to make better effort to post them in an oh-so-trend-although-actually-it’s-been-trendy-for-ages-now-I’m-just-late-to-the-party microblogging fashion. Two options are apparent. Tumblr, which I’ve previously only used for secret emo outpouring during a frankly unpleasant time in my life, or Pownce, which I’ve never quite nailed down the niche for. Tumblr is pretty, and flexible and maps to my own domain, so I’m trying that first: snippets.ben-ward.co.uk is alive (give or take a few hours for DNS propagation).

Within a few minutes of setting it up though, I’m immediately wondering if Pownce, with its desktop and iPhone apps, support for images and Fire Eagle integration might be a better choice. I might switch over quite quickly.
