Writing fb statuses correlated with the fact that I wrote more useful texts.
A potential disadvantage is my fb still seems a better environment for idea incubation or constructive criticism than current LW or EA fora. What I’ve been doing is to write in google docs and ask friends for comments privately.
What I currently do for this sort of thing is use IRC or Discord friends to get that private commentary. Because it’s a real time discussion medium it’s usually easy to find some people I trust to give my work a look.
Theoretically the private messaging tools here on LessWrong should be helping to facilitate something similar, but they’re currently very underdeveloped. GreaterWrong is trying to implement messaging tools in their client right now, but at the moment it’s read only.
