When I came back to this blog I was horrified that it was just pages and pages of my weekly top 5 music artist on last.fm - Any arguably interesting content was lost, hidden under a mass of “dust”.
That auto posted content wasn’t interesting, it was just filler. Who really cares about the top 5 artists, beyond me. No one that stumbles across this blog via linkedIn, twitter or my dribble profile cares, and those are the three biggest referrers to this site. And so, one by one, I deleted every single post.
I truly believe that nothing good can come from auto posting anything to your blog. The reason is simply that manual posting is a chore, what takes micro-seconds for an app or api to do, would take 10 minutes and that is a good thing. It will make sure that anything I share on this blog is worth the effort (at least in my eyes).
Preach on, brother.
