cookies, and other

[jazzfish]

One thing about being awake and not going to yoga is that I'm reading Dreamwidth on my real laptop instead of at work. Which means that I see siderea's The Recipe for how to build community on DW, and have the time/space to share and reflect on it.

I've some sort of personal aversion to short linky posts without much to say about them: it doesn't feel like DW is the right venue for that. But I do recognise that more posts are better for engagement / community. So.

And maybe this will get me back in the habit of, you know, /writing/ here.

... here, have a couple of other links too.

The Cookie Experiment: "And I had a flash of insight: 'Wait. There WAS no other activity. The real experiment was to count how many cookies I ate.'"

Followup-ish, Cookies for Claris: "This is applied cookie psychology. This is I/O cookie psychology. It's cookie psychological engineering."

Everything you posted is quite good --I'd read the twitter story before, but not Siderea's.

I think her recipe is missing "comments", which is like...the a-number-one best part of Dreamwidth/LJ style bloggery for me. Even a comment saying "I like this!" gets me more happy than an equivalent clicky-button would do. (As evidenced by my feelings of vague disappointment every time Twitter says I have ten notifications and that turns out to be only one reply)
