Bringing my world in order!
This is my first attempt to publish data using posterous.com. From what I have read and experienced so far. It seems pretty sleek and easy to use.
Its very intuitive and the user interface is very simple - something that is becoming rare in the Web 2.0 world.
We have evolved in the online Web2.0 world. Now we have multiple presence in this new world - Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, Blogspot, Wordsphere etc. It is becoming increasingly complicated to keep all the small worlds in this big world in sync. Chaos begins to seek in. If not chaos then the other alternative is oblivion from few of the sub-worlds. I was starting to force myself to choose few online platforms of choice and disregard the others. However, my 'social' network has been growing and this would have meant sacrificing friends and acquaintances made over the last few months. Not to mention the opportunity cost of new connections that I could make on other social networks that I would have chosen not to use. To avoid this, I had been looking for a tool similar to this but wasn't able to make up my mind on what are must-have features to good-to-have ones and few I-dont-need-them types.
I hope that this service really works. It promises to publish data on Twitter, FB, Blogs etc (what not? :)) with just one email.
Seems very user friendly. I am hoping this would make it easier for me to be present 'online'.
More on my experience soon.
To start with I have updated my account on posterous with my FB, Twitter and blogspot profiles. So this post is expected to be updated in all 3 places with a click of a button.
Lets see if this works.
With luv,
Giri
P.S. One of the good things about using a new online tool is that you get the name of your choice - not like Giri123, Giriraj007,GirirajDaga1, Giri65 :)
Update1: By the way my posterous profile is - http://giriraj.posterous.com/ The post worked. Now lets see if this update makes it everywhere or not. Yes - I know I am a difficult customer to please :)
Update 2: Update was posted only to posterous.com not to my blog, FB or twitter profile. Let me try advanced options for publishing updated content.
