@khurtwilliams Hey Khürt 👋🏼 - photographer here as well. I noticed your thread after seeing @manton reply, and I’ve to say that I can see where you’re coming from.

If you don’t mind me asking, did you have a specific goal for your micro blog?

I’m asking because I just recently made MB the blogging component of my main site/portfolio. The goal of MB for me was to have an easy to use method of blogging, which it is delivering on. In the process, I ended up finding a community that talks about a wide array of things. For me as a photographer it’s a good thing, as it keeps my mind away from the exposure triangle while I work on my next project.

I know that doesn’t address your points about discovery, but I’m genuinely curious as to how do you think of finding community vs what would you like to find community in.

I’m specially curious because I like to write about the effect social media and social networks have on people (I shot an editorial on the subject), and am thinking about my next editorial piece.
