You have arrived at the web home of Noah Brier. This is mostly an archive of over a decade of blogging and other writing. You can read more about me or get in touch. If you want more recent writing of mine, most of that is at my BrXnd marketing x AI newsletter and Why Is This Interesting?, a daily email for the intellectually omnivorous.

Following as RSS

In November of 2007 I wrote this: "I've started playing with Tumblr. No idea if I'll maintain it, but I've put up a site at heyitsnoah.tumblr.com. To be honest, it could end up being a lot like these random link posts . . ." Well, I'm at it again. This time in large part because of two things I read (a post post from Rick talking about reading Tumblrs via RSS and a post from Scott on following as RSS). What I realized, which I suspect most of those using Tumblr have recognized for sometime is that there's a bunch of people who are using their Dashboard in the exact same way many of us use our feedreaders (not that folks don't have both). Since I don't care at all where people read what I have to say (I don't sell ads after all), I decided it was worth resurrecting my Tumblr at least to pull the feed from this site. Though, like everyone else, I imagine I'll end up using it for all the other stuff that doesn't make the cut here. (While we're on the topic, I've also decided to start a Twitter feed for NoahBrier.com. Even though I generally think those feeds with just links are useless, if that's how people want to read their stuff who am I to not at least offer up my content?)
