the wired blog network just flashed me.  i think it was the movement of the mouse off the page.

“In January we issued an alert regarding efforts by malicious third parties attempting to gain access to your Flickr account.”

flickr just opened under the wordpress banner (when logged in).  wordpress is subsuming flickr in camino.  i am in a window within a window.  no thank you, close and quit.

i made a tag cloud and instantly deleted it.  i might put it back.

well, the thing about
writing
is that all has changed.
now that i’m not on the feed.
instant feed.
well, fifteen minutes.
or two days.
depending
on the feed.

does the web have a theme does the web have a scheme?

it’s not about the fact, is how you arrive at the fact, which is then passed by, yet is somewhat retained.

this is a test.  this is only a test.  in the event of a real blog, bloggable things would have been blogged about, bloggingly.

what i’m sayin

is there are potentials beyond the functionality,
and the functionality furthers the potential.

who will take the first leap from html.

might we hazard a glimpse back at telnet, and other early file-access systems.  hypercard, anyone?

hardware .  then there is the hardware.

but does there really need to be so much hardware?  silicon, magnetic on and off.  magnetism does not necessarily need to be constrained by a solid, we confine it so we can read it, our bunches of bytes.  yo creo no lo necesito.

well.  one thing at a time, i guess.

better go see if anyone tweeted on twitter.

so what if

instead of a feed reader, the blog-tagged tiddler (tiddler tagged ‘blog’) sent itself to the feed.

does that compute?

ok. what happens now is, i write here, and it is posted, meaning has then become text on a page (and not a straight-up html page, a different sort of entity, which might as well be called, for all future purposes, the tiddler) .

what could happen, theoretically, is that i open tag:Blog, then open a newHere and write furiously, with, as always, great import and impeccable intention. my blog entry is now a tiddler, tagged Blog, and what happens. done? save? i think not.

better ‘published’, ’set alight’, ‘freed’, ‘incendiando’

and my blog entry, which is a tiddler, which is somehow intuitively self-tagging, perhaps, is sent off out into the wide blue yonder, for the observance of any other entities for eternity.

but where does it go?

currently, there is no actual current of blogs, there is hosted pages that do not always qualify as standard html pages. not that they need to. as html is a protocol, the tag is its own protocol. the unknown paramifications of the kaleidoscope functionality of a tag has barely been skitched across its skitcherly surface, as we can witness in the tagglytoggles of simonBaird.

what if tags could migrate on their own, to a general feed.

the tag would have a format that fit the feed format. they call each other. instant feed. for Blog, subBlog, uberBlog, superUberBlogarino
