what the hell am I doing online with all these accounts
Update: 9/18/09: Testing them out… I’m in the middle of a testing period of the publishing apps – Tumblr, Posterous, WordPress.com and a few other tools. Will report feedback on a later post.
As more and more new communication tools (Social Media and Networking) are offered to everyone, I realize that there is a need for aggregating services (which are popping up all over in the Internet space). With membership to many of the life publishing tools available it has become necessary to have aggregation for your feeds.
Why am I using all of these tools anyway? I’m creating a lifestream, I’m becoming ubiquist and creating multiple streams of my personal and professional messages.
I have a bio, a blog, a Twitter feed, a Flickr account, a Tumblr account, a FriendFeed account, a Facebook account, a LinkedIn account, and numerous other accounts including Vodpod, Picassa, Delicious, Digg, Twitpic, SlideShare, YouTube, and Last.fm.
This allows you to produce or share content and have it appear everywhere. But you need to manage your stream.
So go out and expand your mind and cruise the Internet. Save what you have interest in and read it, if it stirs something within, then share it with others. Add your thoughts for each item you want to share on the micro blogging sites I’ve mentioned. Just pick a subject that you have interest in.
Back when I taught the basics of the internet to my son’s first grade, (1997), I explained if you love Lima Beans and Green Jello – the Internet is for you!! Post that you love it and it will allow others who feel the same way to connect.
Some things never change in society, connections are made due to similar interest. The tools have just gotten better out there to find your connections. Enjoy!
The final item I’ll add is to be yourself, just share the color in your life.
