12 days of microblogging: business sites: manton.org
@fahrni I try to answer that a little in today's post... There was no official Micro.blog blog until today! The approach going forward will be to have news.micro.blog pull together posts from my personal blog and elsewhere.
@manton How can someone follow news.micro.blog on Micro.blog? Don’t those posts just get lumped in with @manton, since it appears to be a second(ary) blog on your account, so that someone still have to follow you? micro.blog/news says user not found. (Actually, I don’t see news’s posts on micro.blog/manton, either; is the feed not connected?)
@smokey Looks like the idea is you're supposed to follow people on Micro.blog, and then you follow something like the news as a blog via RSS, JSON, etc. It makes the anonymous personification of 'Help' a little fuzzy but I assume it kinda fits in that way. Perhaps 'Help' will in fact be the prototype for "group blogs".
@smokey You can't follow it from within Micro.blog yet, ironically. And the posts don't get included under my username (because that would be redundant when it just re-posts some of my own posts). I wanted to start with a standalone blog first and then see what is needed.
@simonwoods @smokey Right, in the back of my head I'm thinking this could form the first test of "teams" on Micro.blog. But not all the pieces are ready.
@manton @simonwoods OK. My thought/concern was just that some “non-technical/non-RSS” members here might want to follow platform news but not you and that the easiest way for them to do that would be to follow news on M.b. I’ll look forward to seeing what develops as you plot this functionality (“Planet Micro.blog” in old-school parlance?) out :-)
@manton I’m confused, you can have a blog but not be a “user”? E.g.: news.micro.blog and not micro.blog/news. The same seems to be true for omnigroup
