The lure of the instant

Online seems almost chocked full of instant gratification. You can twitter your thoughts, tumblr your findings and pownce your files with friends. I have to admit I have fallen for 2 main forms of instant gratification. Other forms have come and gone like beta flotsum and jetsum along the shore of my email account. At times they seemed good looking strangers that lured me with shiny time sucking distraction. However, none have stuck as much as twitter and tumblr for me. I’ll note here that whilst I did use it, for me pownce never stuck around, I had a lot of issues with their AIR application on my powerbook, I may try it with my new machine at some point but it has so far failed to stick as much as twitter.

New 9rules: Ali 2 and my re-commitment to 9rules

9rules today launched Ali 2. I’m going to post later on my thoughts on the design (so far being a thumbs up), but for now wanted to do shorter post in house blend about the launch. My thoughts? Yay and many other positive affirmations come to mind. I’m thrilled and enjoying the new features.
