Commonplace is a high concept low volume mailing list for cell phones, pagers,
and other text-enabled
wireless devices. It's a place to send interesting words that strike your fancy,
based on the concept of the
Commonplace Book. The list is, I mean, not the words.
The words can be whatever you want, except I'm the moderator so I get to choose.
I might write more about Commonplace Books later, but for now I want to get this
thing off the ground. Here's another little thing about them, in case you want more.
This list is indebted to three people,
Jason
Kottke and his pocket list, who was
the first one to get me thinking that a cell phone mailing list would be fun
to have,
Susannah
Mandel, who, when I was describing what my list would be like, said "Haven't they
been doing that for hundreds of years? I think it has a name," and
Aaron Mandel (no relation), who
corroborated, and that was that.
So... the nitty gritty:
Expect less than three messages a week, and individual
messages no longer than 150 characters
The list is moderated by me,
which means no spam and no solicitation. Logocentric is hosted on bantha.org.
Questions, comments and submissions go to me, Lauren Klein.
