I actually already started writing a while ago, and have managed to keep it up as I encounter new stuff. So I’m already over that (non-trivial!) barrier of just getting to the productive part of the process.
However, running into issues lately has made me decide that a software switch is necessary. Besides the blippr interface issues I already mentioned, it’s getting tricky trying to remember any significant proportion of the past stuff I’ve enjoyed, so that I can write down my feelings about them. I keep thinking of the same 20 old movies or so, even though I’m sure I’ve seen and enjoyed many times that number.
It’s kind of a chicken-egg problem; part of the point of writing down my feelings is to keep this sort of nostalgia-buffer-overflow problem from happening in the first place! I’m hoping that some kind of app with an amazon-like “Maybe you’ll like X too!” suggestion system will become evident.
Okay then! I thought you hadn’t started on the writing :-)
Yeah, that’s a good question. What would make a better review engine than a plain old blog for (a) the writer (b) the reader? I’m actually quite interested in the answer to that one. Something Amazon-like doesn’t quite make it for me.
