How carefully do you have to watch these terrible, terrible videos for terrible, terrible songs in order to get at the Buddha abuse? Someone should make a convenient mash-up of the Buddha-abusey bits. I'd reblog that.
- tezcat
Not very carefully. It's some chicks dancing at what looks like a holiday villa or boutique hotel beside a pool that has a large statue of the Buddha in front of it. There are also smaller Buddha figurines scattered through the place.
- Rajit
Oh, is that all? I thought perhaps there were Buddha-themed sex toys or something

Tumblr vs Posterous - which do you prefer? Any tumblr users/fans here? I'm re-evaluating it and REALLY digging tumblr. Fits in with the way I like to microblog. - http://www.tumblr.com/

Seems to be more FriendFeeders who use/love Posterous - everyone feel the same about tumblr? If not, what's the difference in your opinion?

wide band micro blogging, use them all :)
- Robert Higgins
I use to like Tumblr a lot. Then one day they decided to add something called Tumblarity which rates you on how much you post compared to others on the site. That completely ruined it for me. I don't like feeling like it's a competition to be the one who posts the most. So I moved to Posterous and love it so much more.
- Oracio
That's interesting. I wasn't aware of the Tumblarity. If it shows everyone your tumblr "score" it would feel like pressure to perform to me.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
I find the tumblr bookmarklet far more usable, particularly when selecting what type of post you are creating. The Posterous bookmarklet feels clumsy and difficult to use in comparison.
- Rajit
Oh as a matter of fact, I can't even use the Posterous bookmarklet - it won't drag into my toolbar. But I blamed Firefox with the buggy problems because I was able to drag it into the toolbar in Safari. If Tumblr doesn't give me trouble in this area, it would be a win for me.

posterous - I use posterous to send all my content to tumblr. The one thing it has that's nice are the themes. Everyone on posterous will have .themes soon as well!
- Michael Fidler
themes on posterous are the only thing lacking for me. I've tried them both and still don't know which one I like better.
- BRҰANSAҰS
Robert Higgins: how do you utilize both tumblr and posterous or are they just mirrors of each other?
- BRҰANSAҰS
Jannifer, from what I can see, Tumblr puts the emphasis on community where Posterous on technology. Posterous has a cool bookmarklet and they keep on introducing integration features with other platforms. Tumblr came up with Tumblarity, their version of hashtag, and really took a lot of ideas from the Twitter community (the dashboard, like, reblogs, etc.). I use Tumblr now because they allow you to design your page. Posterous will allow this also, soon.
- Andre P. Siregar
Oh yeah, the tumblarity score can be annoying if you let it. My score is consistently low that I don't even bother. Again, this is their "strategy" so people interact more using Tumblr. You know how some people care about their follower number, how many retweets they get, etc. Tumblarity is basically the same thing. (BTW I wrote about it here http://dregar.tumblr.com/post...)
- Andre P. Siregar
The Tumblarity think reminds me of karma in Plurk and I hated looking at my low score. It big and bold and stares at you whenever you login. That always frustrated me about them. I barely use it now.

Posterous

I like things about both. One thing that Tumblr does that I would love Posterous to do is automatically import feeds. I come from a marketing background past, so not having the custom themes for setting up your own "brand" is a BIG downside for Posterous as well. I want to use one as my main site, but I feel like I need to wait for a few more features from Posterous.
- Sullivan
I like both, but the email posting of Posterous is the killer feature.

- Domestic Diva
I use both and like them for different reasons. Tumblr has a much stronger community and it's easier to discover cool posts and re-blog them. Posterous has made my overall online experience much richer -- I have no excuse to not blog, post pictures, etc. I think if Posterous improved customization and re-blogging tools, it would be a no-brainer in their favor.
- Ben Hanten
My least favorite thing about Tumblr is that there isn't an RSS feed for your dashboard. That is ridiculous. I miss a ton of great posts because of that.
- Ben Hanten
I haven't used Tumblr, but I love Posterous. Heck, if Blogger starts to fail, I can always move my blogs there. (No Tumblr RSS feed? That's a major strike against it in my opinion.)
- Dennis Jernberg
Dennis, there is an RSS feed your individual blog and other people's individual blogs. But Posterous lets you have an RSS feed of ALL of your subscribed to blogs. Makes a lot more sense.
- Ben Hanten
I like both for different reasons. Posterous easy, email based posting. Tumblr has more customization.
- Karoli
I think once posterous has customization, they will be the clear winner. I keep holding out for that anyway. They keep saying its coming, but they have been saying that for a while.

They took down the Tunbarity scres on Tumnblr. I just started getting into it. I like the community aspect of it these days, as there are some really creative and interesting content being parsed over there. I feel like posterous is just a brain dump, and who knows if anyone is paying attention? Might as well brain dump on your own blog.
- Liz
i like and use them both.
- Joe The Sausage
I noticed that they took down the Tumbularity scores which is fine by me. I also noticed that it's easier to discover other people now with the live updating wall they added. Posterous needs to improve discovery, unless I'm missing something there.
- Michael Fidler
more hmmm @Liz
- cysko
posterous, used to be tumblr but switched b/c posting is far easier. As to themes?? Whatevs. And I'm sure they''ll come soon.
- The Real sofarsoShawn
Posterous..
- Chris Myles
use them both. tumblr more than posterous on avg. usually depends on what type of content i am posting. I seem to choose posterous for posts that are more or less text based content and tumblr for just posting images i like or pics I took myself.
- Turner Burns
I use them both, I love tumblr to post pics but your posts get more visits on posterous.
- ★Kristy
you can post stuff via email with wordpress.com now also.
- Logan Lindquist
@Turner Burns yeah I was thinking about that I figured one would be more like a blog and one for all my junk... I'm not sure which is better suited for the different types of stuff. Although I did up for posterous but I don't see myself not jumping in with tumblr

Well, bugger. Mobile interbutt is exactly as annoying as I thought it would be.
what browser are you using? try Opera.the nokia one is ass.
- Rajit
Indeed, Opera is better. But -I'm late to this whole phone shiznit- the lack of a real keyboard irks me.
- tezcat
are there any decent twitter clients for nokia? or does one use the mobile interface?
- tezcat
There's something called Snaptu that has a twitter interface along with other media. I paid 10 euros for Gravity, which is an awesome client. There's browser called skyfire that integrates twitter reasonably well.

openff.org webdesign concept... (1280 px wide so click through to view fullsize ) / post additional features you think are needed for the home page here!

1. a 2 min intro video so people can watch it and know what the hell we are about
- vijay
2. Participation panel with 3 actions: join the team / donate / spread the word
- vijay
3. Latest News panel: I would suggest this to be the friendfeed embed widget for the "openff" group.
- vijay
4. Top Dev panel: Shows most active contributors according to pointers along with their latest twitter updates. The one thing our project can offer is lots of attention for our devs so promoting active devs on a leaderboard is a good way to keep the activity up and running. ( Right now, I'm calling it "dev" board for lack of a nicer shortner name but the final leaderboard will include ALL contributors including non-devs. )
- vijay
5. Scroll Alert: At the right bottom is a small msg that shows up when the viewer still has some scrolling to do on the page warning them that there is MORE content on the page that is available for them to view.
- vijay
I haven't added scrollbars to the mockup. But there will be content below the fold as always.
- vijay
i think the video should be embedded within the page.. but i guess thats the case when the page goes live.
- Gtp19
yep, video will be a pop up overlay as usual. The page behaves the usual way sites these days display content, nothing extraordinary.
- vijay
Very classy. I wonder how it'd map to a "physical" website, though.

- Vezquex
I think one reason for the relatively low numbers of friendfeed users was that people were uncertain as to how to use it and what value it provided over other web sites. In addition to the intro video, something like the "What can you use it for?" text on the current FF home page is needed but better written and making a more compelling case for signing up.
