Are you ready for The Slow Blogging Movement?
Slow Blogging is a rejection of immediacy. It is an affirmation that not all things worth reading are written quickly, and that many thoughts are best served after being fully baked and worded in an even temperament.Slow Blogging is speaking like it matters, like the pixels that give your words form are precious and rare. It is a willingness to let current events pass without comment. It is deliberate in its pace, breaking its unhurried stride for nothing short of true emergency. And perhaps not even then, for slow is not the speed of most emergencies, and places where beloved, reassuring speed rules the day will serve us best at those times.
Slow Blogging is a reversal of the disintegration into the one-liners and cutting turns of phrase that are often the early lives of our best ideas. Its a process in which flashes of thought shine and then fade to take their place in the background as part of something larger. Slow Blogging does not write thoughts onto the ethereal and eternal parchment before they provide an enduring worth in the shape of our ideas over time.
Short response: I can has LiveJournal?
Long response: But…that’s not blogging, is it?
Considering the manifesto is over two years old, I'd say you guys are right on track covering it now.
Slobbing?
Considering the newest item near the top of my blog is from 1966, I guess I'm a slobber.
Slothing?
Blowing.
I need a minute or two before I comment. Bear with me.
Could you get out of my lane, Gramps?
Sure it's blogging. Blogging is just a publishing method. What you write, how you publish - that's all up to the blogger.
What you talkin about, Willis!
JB @7 ftw.
Being edgy: also known as simply advocating the opposite of what is currently being done. Preferably using lots of buzzwords.
I is teh Maverick!
Turn your blinker off or get off the road already.
can't they just put out a newsletter or play chess by mail? that way there's more bandwidth left over for me to get porn, videos and the real slog more quickly.
So, how is this different than a magazine? Or a book?
I have a new idea too. It's called "Leaving My Cell Phone at Home."
Leaving My Cell Phone at Home is a rejection of immediacy. It is an affirmation that not all calls worth answering are answered when you get them.
Slow Blogging is a reversal of the disintegration into being available to anyone with my phone number at any time.
Oops, I forgot to change that last "Slow Blogging" to "Leaving My Cell Phone at Home."
Slowness is good for tummies. Not for brains. Food is for tummies. Blogging is for brains.
Any questions?
How odd, we were *just* talking about this notion of immediacy > quality in my Communication Theory class.
