I was never good at ‘pass the parcel’ when I was a kid. I blame it mainly on being over zealous. That and my unhealthy competitiveness – always had to win (which didn’t always make me the best birthday party guest!)
Twitter reminds me of pass the parcel a bit – RSS readers are ripped open first thing in the morning and then the shiniest blog posts get circulated and shared…like a good prize should I suppose.
But shiny doesn’t always equal useful. In fact, I’d argue that the more unusual and varied your stream is, the better – both for you and your followers.
Making variety a pillar of your approach, coupled with the recognition that time is a finite resource, definitely means there is a place for short and sweet too (and how many blog posts can you really read in one day anyway?!?!?)
