annie werner: One Book, One Tumblr →
fernandofrench:
…why isn’t there a “One Book, One Tumblr” project? Tumblr is large enough that at least one or two (thousand) of us like to read, right? If my research is correct – and it probably is because I Googled with quotes – a Tumblr equivalent of “One Book, One Twitter” does not yet…

There is a critical success factor though to achieving Internet scale that I think is being widely ignored: intentionally keeping a service underdetermined…
