Is it dead?

Is it dead? Or is it going to be die soon? I am talking about Scriptogr.am. The truth is that there are obviously some hosting costs associated, the files are pulled in from Dropbox, but clearly something is not right. The support site doesn’t exist. The Founder left for Pinterest.

When I rediscovered this site, I was actually super happy. Nothing had changed. I was able to look back on my 1800 plus posts from the last 10 years (roughly speaking). Sure my meanderings on Tumblr were not captured, but to be honest these were not really significant.

What I did realise however is that I like the fact that if Scriptogr.am does cease to exist, all of my information is with me in my Dropbox folder. Sure they might be formatted in a particular way, but the words are there.

The other thing I realised was the fact that all the link notes that I created were noise. I didn’t care. I also didn’t care about these kinds of posts, the ones that are referiencial to the actual blog itself. What mattered to me were the intimate posts. The ones that I discussed things that were serious and personal to me. Probably not the greatest medium to have these words online, but definitely something that I could look back on.
