OFTEN - Because of Bursts, Instant News and required posts - POSTS you have spent time on or more would be more interesting to others - VANISH - And these posts are rarely or never read. Special POSTS (our MANY interests) - Posts that you KNOW people would enjoy. SO - THIS SYSTEM - Tells you quickly what's NEW and gets you where you'd prefer to be. When I started blogging (Feb 2003) - I had a "bullet system" at the end of each days' posting (first seen) to list the days' posts. The "Recent" widget works in a similar way. CLICKING NEW - will save each of you TIME! AND we ALL know the value of TIME!
