- While #askhubski does function as a tag for sparking that thoughtful conversation with questions such as “Hubski, how do you beautify your world?” and “How do you know you are really in love?”, the tag also has to make room for the everyday in threads like “What does your alarm clock look like?”
I don't think the longform article will go away anytime soon. Yes, we have ever increasing entertainment options at our fingertips, but the longform article provides a unique insight into a topic that no off-the-cuff comment will ever provide. Some of my favorite longform sources are n+1, Triple Canopy, and Nautilus
I really hope it doesn't. Thanks for the links! I actually have been a fan of Nautilus for a while now -- check the backlog of #thesundaypaper links :)
Interesting. #askhubski is probably a bad example, though. I am willing to bet that it's one of the top tags which everyone coming over from reddit is going to look for, simply because /askreddit is such a popular (and sometimes quite interesting) sub. I'm also not sure that the number of submissions is a very good indicator. Longform by its very nature tends towards quality over quantity. Just some thought, though. I'm looking forward to further insights.
