Notes: Been There, Done It, Got The T-Shirt - Now I'm Going To Concentrate On Publishing Posts
Notes is fine. It’s a bit like Twitter, potentially addictive and very time consuming. You can have a more informal exchange than you would have commenting on posts. You can also use it to comment on posts when really you should comment on the posts. Post notifications and Notes notifications appear to be amalgamated.
I’ll drop in occasionally but I prefer to use my article inbox to see what’s happening. Notes seems to be a bit too chaotic for that purpose. It has the potential to draw traffic away from the long form medium which, in my view, is not positive.
The main reason it has been time consuming for me is that I have found so much new, interesting content which I have been reading a great deal of. So - in my case, Notes has definitely increased my engagement with long form content.
yep, what you said...
