"Most of our blogs, our new digital mantelpieces, are a collection of the things we find. Our collections are made public—others are given access, and we call this sharing. But it is an odd sort of sharing, where what we have found is indeed made available to others, but it is not quite a gift. A collection and a gift may both live in boxes, but they are different because the intent of each is conflicting. A collection is made for me (even if I let you look through it), while a gift is chosen for you."

Frank Chimero announcing his new blog, The Mavenist.
Chimero’s writing is so fine - so spot on - that it makes me jealous every time I read something he has written.
