You can say you invented tumblelogging way back in the paleolithic era all you want, Chris Neukirchen still brought Anarchaia to realization in such a vivid way, both by clever design and by actually posting fantastic stuff all the time. He’s constantly turning that crank.
The kid’s got a new project for flowing conversations called Fugi (pictured at right.) It’s a forum which lays out threads like they’re pipes. The mind reels. You watch the conversation fork and you can wedge yourself between posts, you can play it lowkey and “sage” the post (like marking it as a minor edit on a wiki.)
The encouragement of anonymity is interesting:
Fugi encourages private posting. This ensures that the quality of your post will be defined by the quality of the content only, and not by the author and sheit’s reputation.
I wonder, though. The restricted space prevents length, I wonder how much quality you can get out of a paragraph or two? Then again, if the fugilists are highly cooperative, it’s the whole tapestry that’s got gravity. (And, yes, there is source.)
