Back on the silly microblog

[jducoeur]

In case anybody cares: I've gotten myself back onto Twitter again. I've actually had an account there for ages, but haven't checked it since their IM integration broke months ago. (It's been at "we'll fix it Real Soon Now" ever since, and I can't be bothered to go to their website.)

But in my business, Twitter is kind of expected (you're not anybody in social media these days if you're not on the thing), so I finally downloaded a decent client (Twhirl), and I'm up and running again. I still think it's essentially a toy, but it's one of the few services in approximately the same space as CommYou. (That is, easy semi-realtime conversation.) It serves as a good constant reminder to me of what I'm trying to do better.

Anyway: I have my usual handle over there; feel free to friend me...

I have some friends who are on LJ and some who are on FB. So I need to have both types of accounts. FB provides some useful tools; if all my friends were on both, I would use the FB tools for planning events, for example, and LJ for, well, journaling. I'm hoping that CommYou or some other tool will come along that will make it easier to keep everything in sync and updated.

At least with MySpace, you can get RSS feeds of posts that you can read on LiveJournal. Can you do the same with Facebook posts? I guess I'm just getting increasingly irritated with the amount of time I need to spend online in various forums if I want to keep up with people.
