If archival communication media are a kind of long-term memory, email newsletters are kinda a blackout zone

I am not sure why but I have near perfect recall (as in, the right cue will remind me of the post and I can link it) of everything I’ve written on ribbonfarm but only like 10% recall of what I’ve written on the breaking smart newsletter. Art of gig is in between.

could it be the difference between having a comment section vs. not (newsletter)?

was talking earlier about how i have much more retention for my notes-as-tweets vs. notes in a private notes app
@korede_ta pointed out the role of all the micro-events (people liking the tweets, replies, etc) likely making the “note” so much stickier in memory

I'm just starting to get that sense for Twitter. Quite a few topics come up, more often, where I think 'I have a thread/tweet for that I should link in'. Haven't discovered an efficient means to do so yet.
