I’ve read about folks who use blogs as a way to capture info they’re likely to be interested in (themselves) later, and until recently thought “Why would you want to do that? - Just store the stuff on your HD”. Well, today I think I figured it out - my hard drive doesn’t really have an application that would allow me to annotate the material like I can on a blog (read: mini content management system).

Lets say I want to start tracking “stuff” about a particular topic. I want to make notes on the “stuff”, link to websites, maybe maintain a file or two (although not many), etc. I could do this in my main blog by tagging the content… or, if I think a different audience may be interested in the material (like mainly me, but perhaps a few others), I could just jam it all into a separate blog altogether.

I’m thinking about trying this… WordPress has a decent tagging mechanism and I may cross-post the stuff to both blogs, but this will give me a chance to check out what (if any) multi-blog capabilities WP has. Wish me luck!
