Conventions

A couple of the more cultured @oo5ers have started adding theatre play reviews over the last week so I’ve added Play as a new top level category.

That’s all well and good but all these new categories have started to put a strain on my poor pidgeon-holing algorithm. It was only intended to distinguish gigs from movies and it needs a fair bit more work to deal with the more subtle difference between a gig and an album. I’ve got a few ideas for this… The first and most important revolves around a set of conventions.

Here’s what I’m proposing:

Movie
@oo5 movie 3 some opinion

Album
@oo5 album by artist 3 some opinion

Gig
@oo5 gig at venue 3 some opinion

Exhibition
@oo5 artist at gallery 3 some opinion

Play
@oo5 play at theatre 3 some opinion

Restaurant
@oo5 restaurant in place 3 some opinion

This set feel quite straight forward to me. The syntax is natural and easy to remember. I will be experimenting with them myself over the coming few weeks
to see how they work. If you’d care to join me, feel free!
