Okay, here's what I want: go to one page, write a blog entry/update, click "Post," and the info merrily zings off to all the sites I want it to—Blogger, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
Sort of the opposite of Plaxo. Here's a reasonable explanation of
Plaxo in the
An Unmanageable Circle of Friends article from the
Washington Post:
On Aug. 6, online address book Plaxo introduced Pulse, its solution to the walled garden syndrome (i.e., if you wants to see a pal's Facebook entry, you too must belong to Facebook; to gawk at his Flickr photos, you too must Flick). Pulse users can stream everything from Amazon wish lists to del.icio.us Web markers directly into Pulse accounts. To Wellman's point, they can also separate which groups of people receive which types of information.
I want to go to a single site and be able to cross post to all my different (and appropriate) places. I know such a thing could lead to abuse. Would be the dream tool for spammers. The problem is that I have different people who follow me in different places, and it's beyond annoying to have to post to each site separately. So c'mon, someone come up with my dream blogging tool.
