I cross-posted this from Micro.blog. Replying to see the conversation.

Finished reading: Things Become Other Things A Walking Memoir by Craig Mod. Quite enjoyed this. Craig is a unique individual and writer, and I’m glad to read his newsletters, too. 📚

I may not have added my feed to the Micro.blog sources correctly. Now I've selected the import option so let's watch this flow to M.b and Wan Smol Blog. This has been a test. OK, found a thread in M.b help and now I understand the sources options. Back to timeline display.

Who will use this?

I've added my feed from RSS.storian to my Micro.blog account so that posts I write here will show up in my M.b timeline, and so also on Wan Smol Blog. This will be the first.

Yesterday Dave Winer wrote about how he sees the network evolving:

People will want to run all-size workgroups.

I've been thinking about how I'll use RSS.storian, and who would want to write in this ecosystem. As I've been doing since 2000, I first thought about my family, both immediate and extended, though the public nature of the chat would be off-putting to them. Then I thought about two other groups that might naturally understand this:

A team of journalists covering a live or ongoing event, similar to how the NYTimes reporters have a group blog during the State of the Union address or a team might cover a natural disaster. (Thinking about the damaging earthquake in Japan today, and I'm writing this just after a tornado warning for Chapel Hill lifted.)
A work group following the agile communications handbook in which Giles Turnbull recommends week notes and other open updates.

I'm just starting to explore the possibilities of RSS.chat. More ideas to come, I hope, and flowing through to my other streams.

Olsem wanem?

I'll start with my version of 'Hello, world' and the common Bislama greeting used up and down the Vanuatu archipelago.

My name is Anton Zuiker and this is the first post on my own installation of the new RSS.chat software.

Dave wants RSS.chat to be a coral reef. Having snorkeled reefs in Vanuatu, Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, and Australia, I like that concept. This is my (very small) part in helping to build a virtual coral reef that will stretch around the globe.

I'm calling my install RSS.storian because in Bislama storian means to chat.
