Ephemeral Effort

This post is a fleeting effort or transient test for unknown readers, if any.  In search of “ephemeral”, this marketing article got my attention:


Forbes 11/27/23 by Rebecca Kowalewicz

“… ephemeral content … is accessible for a short duration and then disappears. (Think Snapchat or Instagram Stories, for example.)  …  This form of content taps into users' fear of missing out (or what we marketers like to call FOMO). Because the content disappears after a limited time, users are more likely to engage with it promptly.”


I don’t often engage with ephemeral content, so most flies by without my being afraid of missing out.  My interest lies more in classic films and old books, hopefully available for years in my local library.  Some content in this post may disappear.
