FAQ
- Holy shit, you caved to tumblr?
To be clear: We’re usually late to the party on “trends” and “movements”… and not fashionably late, either. More like so late that by the time we show up, everyone else is already hooking up or passed out - but it doesn’t matter because we’re so drunk that sitting on the lawn setting grass on fire until 7am seems like a great idea. In other words, if you have a tumblr account and you consider yourself “on the cutting edge,” you might want to abandon it now. Fair warning: We’ve also got a flickr account, and we’ve been on twitter for over a year. Web 2.0 should be dead by fall. - Is this just a duplicate of attrition.org?
No.- Historical attrition.org content has only been imported back to the beginning of 2010.
- Content such as some tweets, chat conversations, and miscellaneous tidbits are aggregated here, but not on attrition.org.
- Attempts are being made to dig through the archives and repost historical highlights, to bring them to the attention of the hip new readership whose gnat-like attention span renders them incapable of pouring over a decade’s worth of carefully archived material.
- Shit here is tagged, yo.
- What happened to content > format?
Maybe you didn’t read #1. The content here is a selection of posts from the main attrition.org site, interspersed with tweets and other bits handpicked by our Web 2.0 Mistress.
The choice of tumblr was made not for the sexy CSS alpha channels, but for the following reasons:- Posting format lends itself to crossposts of tweets, daily photos (which are often sourced from tumblr in the first place), and links out to main site content.
- Tagging is simple and we don’t have to maintain it.
- Subscribing to the tumblr RSS feed provides you with regular updates to an aggregated stream of content. Our other RSS feed pushes only news items.
- We have been infiltrated by hipsters.^W^W^W^W^W see value in using and understanding what’s shaping the world around us, even if it only serves to lay the groundwork for a future rant.
- Will you follow my tumblr blog?
I dunno, maybe. Feel free to alert us to your glorious existence using the Ask feature. We’ll check it out. As always, our interests include:- Infosec that doesn’t suck
- Squirrels
- Scotch
- pr0n*
*This should appeal to the Web 2.0 Mistress, not those other ascii pr0n enjoying perverts.
- You didn’t answer my question!
FFS, people. Read this.
