After a brief digression into Raskin-style "no keystroke" interfaces, we realized that there was a lot of stuff that we just send to our friends on zephyr (instant messaging with group channels and very low overhead) that people without such a channel would blog instead - and that perhaps having a chat to blog converter would be useful. I've certainly seen IRC "bots" that produce link-blogs from everything that goes by on the channel, this would be more conversation-oriented... anyway, it all "chimed" with your "sentence-blogging" comments and posting-by-im.</p> A friend and I recently had a discussion of the amount of effort it took to actually push things out into a blog, and how he'd gotten it down to a few keystrokes and yet there was still an energy barrier.

Short is sweet. I'm reminded of Richard P. Gabriel's insistence that periodic output of poetry enhanced the creativity of the authors.

Perhaps you should be dashing off haiku's!

Have Fun!
