doing it right when you don't have to makes it easier when you do
Shouldn't it be nearly as easy to take a few idle minutes and write/produce, not just read/consume? at least proportional to "interface speed", I can read 10x faster than I can type (given a real keyboard, not thumbs) and I type pretty fast...
That said, traffic-light-blogging is probably still a bad idea... but the whole blogging revolution was about taking something easy and removing even those energy barriers...
