I'm wondering if there is a site where I can look up my symptoms. I'm thinking it could be neurological or possibly serious....but then again it could be nothing.

yes, technically. But at least with Flickr, it's organised into sets and so on. So slightly more organised...and Flickr has some pretty decent ways of being incorporated into your blog itself
- Zee.
and you can set permissions on sets in flickr...

...now this is the first time I have come across something that highlights a benefit of having a Posterous account / site.
- JA Castillo
well I use different services for different purposes. Twitter is an inherently real-time service. Tweets are generally about what's happening right now, and often become rather meaningless shortly thereafter. I will sometimes use TwitPic when I want to post a picture that really is only relevant for people following me on twitter and not for people who might see it later on flickr. I use flickr for more 'permanent' content.
- Ben Reierson
I see the point here. But wouldn't it be great if there was just a way to do this directly *FROM* you WordPress blog? I'd love a way to email my blog and have it post that image to Twitter. That would be a damn useful plugin.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
@Tutivillus ... huh? You're confusing me. That is exactly what I'm saying you can do. You can email your blog via posterous or even directly to your blog, and then with a wordpress plugin like TwitMe or even Ping.fm...Your twitter account (and facebook, friendfeed etc..) will all be notified. This all happens as quick as it does with TwitPic
- Zee.
@Zee - I know. But why not create something to cut out the middle man (Posterous). I'd love to see a solution that just let's you do this directly, without using a 3rd service.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Never have gotten that to work from Gmail - but I'll try it again (it's been over a year since I last tried).
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
@Zee - yes. I am not as dialed in to such things as you and quite a few others. When I have asked others to expound on the benefits of Posterous over Tumblr & the like, all I have heard is that you can email to it and how it's so easy to use "on the fly". Using it in the manner that you describe, is the most credible reason (to me) for going with a Posterous.
- JA Castillo
@JA i guess my surprise stemmed from the fact that we (thenextweb) have been raving about posterous for months now. This is a good post by martin http://thenextweb.com/2009... that might help bring you round
- Zee.
I am sure you have, but I am usually late to the party! ;) Thanks for the link; I will read up on it.

Flickr posts directly to twitter now, and has proven itself to be an established feature-rich photo site for many many years. http://www.flickr.com/account...

@Daniel, absolutely - but sadly it doesn't work as well with video, audio, documents etc..

"You should TOTALLY care about all the things like Personal Branding and Hosting Your Own MySQL PHP website like I do because they're SUPER, SUPER important." If this guy could be any more obsessed with the way he prefers to do things, I wouldn't be surprised to see him start marching against image hosting sites and launching DDoS attacks in the name of Internet Service Purity.

I'm this guy. And you've misquoted the shit out of me.
- Zee.
SmugMug's the best I've found for long-term photo storage - they support RAW as well
- Jesse Stay
But yep, you should absolutely care about personal branding if you're spreading your shit online...especially if you're using your own name. Personal branding aside, having everything on your own site means it's there organised how you want it, to access whenever you please.
- Zee.
@Jesse it's true SmugMug is awesome. But the fact that you can just email photos, video, documents, audio to one email address/bookmarklet and have it posted to your main blog, then have your blog ping Facebook, Friendfeed, Twitter and any other social networks you're part of with all of it...seriously rocks. It brings my site serious traffic, and i can customize it far more than any photo/video/audio/doc sharing site
- Zee.
The latest release of Twittelator Pro (v.3.3) for the iPhone supports Posterous for media uploads. So you can tweet and send attached images (or other media) to your own site via Posterous right from the Twitter client.
- Louis Trapani
Thanks for the post and the post by martin. I can't believe how easy it was to start up a posterous site and have it updating my hosted wordpress blog. Very cool to be able to send an email to one place and have it update everything for me. New to me at least.
- Michael Pardee
Oh good! Another splatter casting tool!
- ZuDfunck
TBH I think most people who use such services do so for the convenience and tight Twitter integration than anything else
- LANjackal
I couldn't agree more. One of the reasons I've enjoyed the simplytweet iPhone app is b/c of the posterous integration so my pics are on my "own"site. Not to mention much easier to download.
- Keith - @tsudo
I wish that I could adjust Posterous to tweet my own website URL for new postings instead of the Posterous page. It somewhat defeats the purpose of having it auto-post to my own site to a certain degree if all my Twitter followers are being directed to Posterous.
- Louis Trapani
@Louis if u use a Twitter wordpress plugin...turn off autotweeting on Posterous. Then u can tweet every time Posterous posts to ur blog
- Zee.
from iPhone
one reason might be that these services give out short urls on their own otherwise you have to use a url shortener
- testbeta
@testbeta the plugins that you can get for wordpress have URL shortneners built in. plus Twitter automatically shortens URLs with bit.ly
- Zee.
from iPhone
@Zee Thanks. I use Drupal on my site. I do have a Twitter plug in for it, though it doesn't seem to tweet new posts when they come through the API (i.e. Posterous). Although now that I think of it, I could use a service like HootSuite to automatically tweet new postings from my site from its RSS feed.
- Louis Trapani
from iPhone
I just wish someone could build me this: Instead of having to go to the 50 or so social networks I'm a member of, I want those networks to come to me. I want a single page (my blog or home page) I can host myself, working in both directions. Yes, I can pull things, using rss feeds or widgets, and I can push things, using services such as ping.fm, but I want all that to happen "at home"....

Save your pics and backup that is just a common sense keep your copy of your pics if u care

I agree it is the same reason you should have your own blog on your own site. That way you have and own your own content.
- Rob Cairns
Another option is to use your own domain with a service you like that has reasonable URLs. Then you have the option of moving to self-hosting without breaking links.

Million Dollar Question: If you had to call it now. Is there: A) a particular community/site you're replacing Friendfeed with? If so, what is it? Or...B) nothing yet that comes close, and my plans are to...
I'm spending more time on FB... not that it's.. remotely the same.
- Alix Whitmire
Can I buy a vowel, because A is too upsetting.
- Micah Wittman
B... It has not felt quite the same since the FB buyout...
- Robert Freeze
B... I don't know!! :( Ride it out as far as I can, hope that Google Wave saves the day really soon (though I'm worried if Google Reader is any indication of what that will be like). I'm so worried!!
- Kamilah Gill
B and my plans are to keep hanging out here until further notice.
- Laura Norvig
B. I don't see a point in replacing Friendfeed. there is enough activity here to keep one going on for times to come... oh by the way what if Twitter becomes FriendFeed, in layout/functions?
- Sardar Mohkim Khan
Sardar, that would be perfect and amazing, but I doubt it would happen...
- Kamilah Gill
A-ish. Gotta be honest - the thing i liked most about Friendfeed is the tech community. My current project in SAlabs is building out a Friendfeed-like set of functionality for facilitating tech conversation.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
You know, I still don't get why everyone thinks this place is going to die. I get that it could, but I'll wait until FB/FF announce something like that before I start worrying about it. (BTW, self-fulfilling prophecies generally aren't so great.)
- Andrew C
B - my plans are to stay on FF as long as it's here in it's current unFacebook'ed state. As for alternatives, there is perhaps GReader but it doesn't come close. So let's hope the new OpenFF will eventually be FF's replacement. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
B - remain here and make friends. Websites may come and go, friends are forever. :)
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
I liked the older version of friendfeed better, before the interface redesign, so if other site offered same interface with lots of people already in it, then I would be interested. From what I have seen, nothing comes close. The closest is socialmedian as alternative to friendfeed but it lacks the structure and flow as is found here.
- TrafficBug
B. While the community here continues to be so engaging, I don't feel the need to move on to anything else.
- Andrew Terry
B. Well I've just managed to get all my real friends using Friendfeed. I created a private room and now all my close friends from all round the world can banter it up. Facebook has the numbers but the tech is still poor. Anyone who watched the developers preview of Google Wave will know we're all just treading water till it comes out
- Toby Graham
Paul Buchheit declined to make any definitive statement about the future, but I think that's because geeks like to always be right, and forward-looking statements can be wrong. He did say that he thinks the chances of FriendFeed disappearing are lower post-acquisition, which to me means "don't worry about it." I don't have any post-FriendFeed plans. I like it here, and I'm staying.
- Bruce Lewis
Nothing even comes close yet. I'm staying here until they turn the lights off.
- David Cook
from fftogo
b - stay on ff as long as i enjoy staying here
- barbarars
No there would be nothing close - unless someone managed to build something very similar. If anyone knows of such a site - let me know.
- Alternating Reality Books
B - I agree with Andrew as well - This is a great community
- martha
B - Still a great community. Nothing has come close to replacing it yet
- Anthony Feint
B - and I'm staying put until everyone else leaves. Like most folks here, I have tons of accounts on other social networks and web services, and I maintain them to a degree, but FF is one of the only places I come back to regularly, with a high rate of frequency.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
B - Go down with the ship if it ever sinks. I'm sure other sites will replace this experience at some point but no need to worry now.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
B - I tried A. Facebook and A. Google Reader and they're both something else
- Jorge Escobar
B - My plans are to cut my self off from the social networking community when FF goes under.
- Alex Scrivener
B. Keeping my eyes open for a backup/archiving system (I know a few are out there), but most of the good content is aggregated from other places -- as time goes by, that becomes less and less true, as I've been uploading stuff directly to FF. I am hopeful that FB won't do something stupid though.
- Andy Bakun
I have actually been rethinking the way I interact online. That is, move away from the aggregation of content from various services and more toward the pushing of information from one network (a la Posterous).
- Cloud
B. We obviously need a decentralized way to share real time. Wave federation seems to fit in but it's not even available for all.
- Berk D. Demir
I think B but once Wave comes out there's a chance it may replace FF for me
- Wang Yip
Someone will need to create a front-end, of sorts, if we want Wave to replace FF. Ideally it's the best option but I don't believe it will be easy.
- Kol Tregaskes
Posterous seems to be moving in an interesting direction.
- Colby
B - Unless something wonderful comes up with a similar community of users, I'll just drop out when FF is gone. FB is for RL friends and that sort of use won't change probably.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
B but using A GReader a lot more and waiting for OpenFF - I have to say that Google Wave looks v promising though and have been trying it out
- Nicholas Paul Gordon
from iPhone
wow, so i'm the only person who used FF to replace something else? :P
- Joe Silence is not dead
Well he didn't ask us what we used FF to replace. He asked us what we're replacing FF with, if at all. Otherwise I would've answered differently. :)
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
B. I'm pretty sure another FF like service will become huge in the next two years, the walled garden approach of FB has no future.
- Nik
A: Reddit, Google Reader (although I don't comment that much) and Twitter. I don't know why, but I'm not spending a lot of time here anymore.

My time on FriendFeed has dropped dramatically although threes nothing that competes with it at the moment its not worth my time using a service if its going to disappear.
- Nicholas James
B. Staying with FriendFeed, at least for the time being. There are a couple of other semi interesting services out there, and I'm not talking Posterous, but until such time as they're supported by some slick iPhone clients there's no chance I'll be taking a closer look. FreshFeed has had a recent and very useful update (currently a complete bargain in appstore, go get) and hopefully...

- Bette Cooper
Not one bit. Just because I find some peoples posts interesting, doesn't mean my stuff will be interesting to them. On twitter I have a "test" of sorts when people follow me. I don't follow back for a week or so. If the person is still around I look through their stuff and maybe follow back. If they disappear within the first couple of days, I know they were just looking to pad their follower count. Maybe thats why I still only have like 20 followers :-P
- Rasmus Lauridsen
This post reminds me to unfollow. Just kidding. It doesn't bother me either.

I'm pretty much the same way, Rasmus. Other thing about it is, I probably won't follow anyone who doesn't talk to me directly. I don't get new follower notifications.

There is no way this would be acceptable in the enterprise. I continue to keep an eye on hosting and the cloud, but things like this seem to keep things 2 steps back.

2 things I wish the iPhone would "borrow" from the Blackberry: an external LED so I know when I missed any kind of message or alert, and bedside mode so it turns in to a clock when it is charging.

ohhhh.. i forgot: downloading my entire list of domains for backup before moving servers. Add FTP to the list. and drinking freshly ground coffee in my french press travel mug. The coffee was purchased from a Guatemalan farmer my sister met while there.
- Courtney Engle
A couple of people have mentioned coffee. I just had my tea (I'm not from England). I think that may be even more geeky than drinking coffee!

Micah +1!. Better than me - sister in law just dropped of HP laptop with Vista and said "it's slower now." so I get to play with the cleaning of spyware and the uninstalling of a billion little apps that HP feels are so necessary that they should be part of startup just to ensure that it takes a full 5-10 minutes before you can use the machine. But I'm not bitter.

I'm commenting on this post. Can life get more "geeky?"

Ripping Hogan's Hereos DVDs to make H.264 files for later playing on Apple TV. It's good to carry on in comments here as it shows FF that there is a continuing need and use of the FF ways of doing things. If this was on Facebook, I could not send a comment to Robert unless he friended me. Things are just so much tighter and efficient here.

About the only other thing we could ask for in comments, is comments on comments.

I had a toshiba libretto I named fondle-me, but I only kept it for 7 days (and returned it for a powerbook instead), so you can use that if you like it :P
