Terms and Service

Not to be confused with terms of service, no, this is terms and service.
In its original format, Twitter was limited to 140 characters. I wasn’t comfortable — at that time — with its short format. However, as a potential outlet, I’ve enjoyed it, and as an occasional diversion, it’s been interesting.
This isn’t about politics or policy, but the suggestion is about the short format. There are days, when all I have is a single link, maybe with a brief explanation or a few words of exposition.
In separate venues, I’ve heard the term “micro blog” and wondered if that isn’t akin to the original format for Twitter.

Current iteration of micro.blog —

There’s a good concept, but there’s something missing, too much autonomy?
My terms and service — current thinking on this topic, the micro.blog — as a part of my own, internal taxonomy for material?

It’s perfect.
It’s a short bit, somedays nothing more than a link.
Maybe commentary, maybe not.

Currently, I’m experimenting with a new hosting/server thing. See how this goes. As a note, though, about the bandwidth? Costs have plummeted. In 1995 dollars, I found a special “$99 per year!” (unlimited) package, I moved towards. From what I recall, the company was built on the old DARPA backbone, so it was served fast. The limits were 5 Gigs of disk space, unlimited throughput as long as it didn’t throttle any of the shared server environment.
The one I’m testing now was, with tax, title, license, and destination fee? Right at $100 for three years, with an amusing upwards limit of 50 gigs of data disk space and the vaunted “unlimited” through-put.

We’ll see how that works.

In the meantime, the the term “Micro.Blog,” used in concurrence with my works? Tends to mean a short entry.
Yes, when I have enough time, I can write shorter entries.
