Sendible – Your Ultimate Messaging Center - http://www.bloggingtips.com/2009...
"Sendible is nice, but not perfect. I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks and have had issues in the following areas: - Importing contacts. Sendible went off on its own mission and , several hours later, still hadn’t finished importing from some networks. - Missing scheduled updates to some networks (e.g. Brightkite and Twitter). Messages disappeared from my Sendible status, but never got through to the target network. - Recurring messages. Some instances of recurring messages disappeared. Hopefully Sendible will iron out these bugs in time…" - Russell Cohen
You miss out on a lot when you act as if the whole world's against you. That applies to groups or nations as well as individuals!

The Twitter timeline is starting to look far less conversational, far more RSS. Maybe we need a social network that CAN'T be automated?

Bal tashkhit (www.haaretz.com) - http://www.haaretz.com/hasen...
Created 48 minutes ago last 1 comments, out of 1 Maskil says: Nov 25 at 21:29 PM #1, @VIPER, I think this is what you're looking for (from article on Bal tashkhit in Wikipedia): "Bal tashkhit ("do not destroy") is a basic ethical principle in Jewish law. The principle is rooted in the Biblical law of Deuteronomy 20:19–20. Originally, the Biblical command was limited to wartime, and it forbade only the cutting down of fruit trees. In early rabbinic law, the bal tashkhit principle was expanded to include other types of damage. For instance, the Babylonian Talmud applies the principle to prevent the wasting of lamp oil, the tearing of clothing, the chopping up of furniture for firewood, or the killing of animals.[1] In all cases, bal tashkhit is invoked only for destruction that is deemed unnecessary. Destruction is explicitly condoned when the cause or need is adequate." add comment - Russell Cohen

"Very creative use of Windows Live Writer (WLW) and the Blogger Email & Mobile/BlogSend Address to post to Posterous! Still, I wish Posterous would support WLW and ScribeFire natively (or vice versa), just for those times when we'd rather compose a blog post in an editor instead of an e-mail client." - Russell Cohen
