now, that the former negasonic twitterhead slash president had been ejected from most of the social media posting machines there has been enough time passed, like about three months, to come back to a more reflective interaction with the medium
it did not matter that there had been a few artificial obstacles, like the limits to - how many - 44 characters, or 120, or 140, sometime maybe 160 or 280 or whatever, these numbers did not count because every chunk could be followed up by many more ....
this just cut a text into segments, like they do it in poetry, creating a rhythm and a timed sequence for reception and experience and the condensed way of a bit by bit publishing even allowed a new way to emphasise and enhance specific elements of a message
bless your heart, puddin - but - that's not what I wanted to write about, in more than 99 characters now, that the dominating monster has been sent to the penalty box I picked up the dropped ball of bouncing words and images
no, I am still not at ease with the dynamics and meanings of the medium and my struggle with the needs and requirements and conditions has not changed as this takes time and focus and resources that I take from other places while not swimming in an abundance of them
so what was the actual thought - ah, yes - the writing - that is unlike the way a book is written and then also read - - as I assume -
usually from the front to the end, which is - in many cases -
from the beginning of a story to its end - in a linear form -
a blog, or tweets, or social media, or stuff like that is most likely also written in a similar sequence, but consumed in various different ways
if visited and reviewed and revisited and viewed at later times the order of posts, the order of tweets, the order of statements is strangely reversed, mainly with the newest on the top and thus the beginning of a story at the end of the text, right?
an then there is - depending on the platform used - the additional level that can include links, and images and re-posts and comments and more and that makes everything really, really complicated, because its is all a big fat mixed up monster mash
so far I have no readers, no viewers, no followers or fans, and I like that because it keeps me free from any potentially annoying interactions that would suck up even more time, energy, focus and attention and it's for no good anyways
