How much user generated content can one user generate?
3 Jul 2008Things have again been a bit quiet on this blog. I must now divide my attention between this, my work blog, Facebook, Twitter and all the content I can aggregate on Google Reader. And the dozens of random links people send me on instant messenger.
What troubles me is that I know plenty of people for whom this is a fairly lightweight regime. There are people who blog several times a day and Twitter endlessly. And it’s not as though they get paid for it, as far as I can work out. How do they manage?
It’s called continuous partial attention and was caused by eating too much sugar and watching brightly flashing cartoons as a kid. It is destroying the world.
Hang on … back now from a Tweet.
What was I saying again?
I.. I mean, they… clearly like the sound of their own voices too much. Yes, I think that went well enough…
Either that, or you need more Ego.
Hang on — what am I saying?
