Martin's posterous

Thanks for the info Garry

I'm apparently not the only one feeling a little stretched in social media these days. According to Garry, we're going to be able to post practically everywhere from here. I have several WordPress blogs and I hate the way WP handles image and media embedding- its very poorly designed, confusing and simply doesn't work very well. So if Posterous can make that aspect better I'm all for it. Back in the day when I was using Typepad it was a lot easier to deal with rich content (about the only thing I preferred about Typepad).

Can't keep up

While this service is cool I wonder of they're too late to the game, not because there's anything wrong with it but because there are so many social thingys compewting for our attention and time. I looked at Plurk recently and thought it was butt ugly though the timeline is interesting. However I just don't understand what newness they bring to the game.
it's like this: I have something I want to pontificate about. Do i go to my blog, http://blog.techrigy.com , to Twitter, to our social network, http://conversation.techrigy.com , to posterous ...you get the idea. The choice is between trying to be ubiquitous and plugged in or developing authority through the building up of a presence in one place, like the blog.
I'm leaning toward the blog and dropping the rest. Actually the blog posts are RSSed into the soc net so no need to do that. And maybe I'll let those with shorter attention spans tweet and plurk or whatever. And don't even start with the Friendfeed stuff...
