Hi there. Writing regularly is hard. It requires time and space - which if you don't carve out with deliberate intent is always carved up by something else.
But recently I had a little inspiration and a little space so I started writing again. Two posts in the last two days. Don't expect this level of effort regularly but hey, let's make hay while the sun shines eh?
I've been thinking a lot about Twitter, networks, content and distribution. First up - some thoughts on where the next Twitter will come from:

Why "the next Twitter"? Well at it's core Twitter-the-company is in real trouble. But the core essence of Twitter is still magical and unique online. So as the company shifts, will a new Twitter emerge? And if so, from where?
So, while thinking about Twitter, networks and distribution I was struck by a few things I saw recently that reminded me that you can't divorce content and distribution. Especially for the indie bloggers out there. It's not enough to just build your own home - we should be building our own independent streams and distribution channels. Of course, TinyLetter is part of that. Hence why I'm here. But there's more to be done there.
