I asked ChatGPT-5 to qualitatively review the current archive of my microblog. OpenAI focused on the microblog site’s own tag structure #ictedu, #pkm, #workflow, #trends. The AI cites three enduring themes from content published between 1997–2025: educational technology and teaching practice; personal knowledge management and productivity workflows; and the social web/podcasting and online publishing culture.
“Educational technology & teaching practice recur through conference fieldnotes and classroom implementation. Early traces include “Snapped at OEB08” (Online Educa Berlin); recent posts formalise policy such as “AI Implementation Policies for Schools #edulearn25.” Together they show sustained, instructional focus rather than tech novelty alone.
“Personal knowledge management & productivity workflows appear continuously, emphasising vaults, agents, and note pipelines. See “Personal Knowledge Management in a Vault” and “From Obsidian to Public Working Notes,” which document durable systems spanning Obsidian, Readwise, and micropublishing—classic PKM patterns integrating individual cognition with social sharing.
" The social web, podcasting, and online publishing culture bookend the archive. Early web metrics (“15,000 Hits a Month,” 1997) foreground analytics and outreach; later posts (e.g., “Continued growth in Fediverse”) track decentralised networks and creator workflows, evidencing a long, reflective engagement with networked media.”
I will be shoveling most of my legacy blog from Irish.typepad.com onto topgold.micro.blog during the month of October. And asking ChatGPT to render another reading of my content. There are more than 25m words in my legacy blog.
