Reverse engineering

I am starting to compose blog posts in my head as if they were Twitter posts - ie statements of current activity. Not sure this is progress .....

My eagle-eyed character counter confirms that you stayed inside the 140-character limit in this first attempt. Well done!

I had a very similar revelation some time back, when I realized that a fair number of my conversations contained references to "stuff" (pertinent content to the discussion at hand, or the preparation, such as it is, for an upcoming conversation) at link URL such-and-such.

I called it "Linky Thinking" ...

I've begun to notice the same sort of thing with respect to interconnectedness and interlinking, or interlinkedness and interconnecting ... learning the language and dynamics of blogging is taking me along a very similar path.

Anyway, it's clear that I now have a "linky" frame of reference, and increasingly a "linky" mental model, and the process in which I am learning all this is very similar to the process I experienced while learning another language."
