@Adii - Well, I've given it some thought and I've looked over Tumblr again and I suppose you have a point.

@Jeremy - When you explain it like that, Tumblr definitely sounds like Twitter but for blogs. I'm sure WordPress could be turned into something similar as Tumblr but the social features and the ease of publishing different kinds of content and having it all look good I think is the issue here.

@Chris - First off, good choice in themes :) Secondly, I can tell there is a difference between your asides posts and your normal posts. Although I'd prefer a little more visual difference between the two, I get what you're saying.

@Epic Alex - Taking a look at it, I see they use the chain link image and some other things to differentiate the short content versus the regular blog post content. I see the same problem though between this site and Chris's and that is not enough visual difference between the two content forms. This must be what Adii was referring to regarding Tumblr and themes.

@Alex Blundell - Over the past three months, I've seen Posterous popping up more and more in the news. I'm guessing what they have going on over their is a good thing. Have you tried using the built in "Press It" bookmarklet for quick bursts of information to your WordPress site?

@Ben Cook - I think culture may have something to do with it. I mean, there are plenty of people who have a full blown blog and then an entirely separate site for short form content because apparently, the short form and the long form simply don't mix well together visually. Definitely an interesting conversation and I hope it continues.

@Kyle Eslick - This seems like a comment meant for this post: https://www.wptavern.com/roll-your-own-url-shortener-with-pretty-link
