as ever, bootstrapping is the problem with new social media sites =/
@sonya all we can do is poast content and tell people about it
@sonya yeah there's a lot to learn hmm
@sonya why would anyone give up their birdsite clout to post at a dozen people
@danzaburou @sonya resilience, hopefully! but you don't even gotta due to cross-posting
@sonya I just take the approach of making sure the microblog is useful to me even if I’m the only user.
@sonya
thinking of it more as "seeding a new site for backup purposes"
so that IF something happens at twitter, then a bunch of people are already at (e.g.) schelling.pt so it's easy to coordinate (instead of trying to scramble to contact people AFTER getting cut off for some reason)
