Greetings From Wordland
This is a quick (somewhat geeky) post about using a service called Wordland, a writing tool that provides a proper text editor for writing posts instead of “tiny little boxes”. Dave has a little more on the idea behind Wordland at his site. It connects to your WordPress.com account and lets you post to whatever blogs you have set up. Mine is at andyrush.wordpress.com.
I had some difficulty using it in the Safari browser. I couldn’t get links to work which is pretty crucial on the web! Also, attempting to add an image resulted in, well, nothing. I’m using the Brave browser to write this.
Anyway, quick diversion. Back to our regular microblogging 🙂
Editors note: I had an error attempting to post directly to this micrblog. Wordland “sees” the site as an option to post to, but after trying several times, I went directly to the site to post this.
Fediwall: Social media wall for the Fediverse
Does anyone remember TwitterCamp? It was an Adobe Air application that displayed tweets of a specific parameter, like a user name or hashtag. We used it on a big screen in the lobby for Faculty Academy at the University of mary Washington all the way back in 2008 2007 (Editors note – Alan Levine points out that it was 2007 – I should read my blog posts more closely). Anyone who tweeted using the hashtag #FacultyAcademy would get their posts included on the big screen.
Well, I recently discovered Fediwall which seems to be something that looks very similar to TwitterCamp, only for the Fediverse. I’ve just started playing with it but it could serve conferences who want to move to federated social media, as way to encourage attendees to share their Fediverse findings.

A Federated Blog Post Using Just My Voice
A snippet of a presentation I’m working on…
I want to write a microblog post using just my voice and then see all the places we can send it.
