On Sunday night during the Oscar broadcast I’m thinking I might post some comments and opinions during the show. I won’t post them directly here on the blog. Instead I think I’ll post over on Pownce. It seems like a platform a little more suited to short and more frequent bursts of information.
If you want to follow along you can click the link over to the right under My Networks for Pownce to see my public profile there. The comments will be public so you can follow along without joining. If you want to reply I’m pretty sure you will need a Pownce account of your own. Feel free to join and add me as a friend if you like. It’s just another social networking site. I have not been using it very much, but it seems like it might be well suited for this purpose. You don’t need an invite to join, but if you want one you can send me an email or add a comment to this message and I’ll send you one.
You can also follow along here at the blog. I have setup Basic_B to show my public Pownce feed in the sidebar to the right, but I think there will be some lag time. I don’t believe that feed refreshes every time you refresh the page, so you’ll get better and quicker updates if you follow along on the Pownce page directly. Also, I think it only shows about 5 comments at a time. You’ll see more on Pownce.
Another thing to keep in mind is I may not be in real time. I’ve got a tivo so I probably won’t start watching right on time, but I suspect I won’t be far behind. It reaches a certain point and I’ll likely start watching even if it does mean I’ve got to sit through some of the commercials.
And if nobody follows along, and nobody replies, that’s okay too. I’m going to do it anyway, so about halfway through the broadcast if I start responding to imaginary people, just enjoy reading it later on.
Hope to see you online Sunday night.
