Merging exercise - mashing a double blog
Hm, let me figure out how this works. And, how I like it.
To follow the Motley reading group I was inclined to join a new mashup service called Posterous, which means I get an email with every action on the group blog, and have access to a personal blog. So far so good - much smoother that, for example a Ning group where I do get an email alert for actions, but I have to login to the site to check the content, which means I don't keep up with all of those Nings that I've joined over time.
With Posterous, I have several useful tools in one smart box - I could post from my Flickr album, from Facebook or Twitter (which I prefer not, because my account is not open to just anyone, so it would probably not appear in a tag stream). But with my blogging that feels different. I took up an appropriate blog I made some years ago but never really nurtured, worldofreaders.blogspot.com.
Now I made the experiment and given access from Posterous to merge these two blogs. Do I feel comfortable? Not 100%. But I've made a test on trust to the Posterous developers, as I reported a portion of spam mails yesterday, and had a swift reaction from a real person who promised to look into matters.
So - this double blog post is made from my blog blog and - let me see where it ends up?
