I just discovered del.icio.us gives the option to post lastest bookmarks to your blog. I have now signed up and today it is supposed to post. We will see.
Meanwhile, I did bookmark an article entitled “Why Twitter hasn’t failed: The Power of Audience.” The article is pretty interesting, especially since I use Twitter myself and in light of the recent Bird Bans (see prev post here). Twitter is great (when it works) and can be useful–I just don’t see it as omnipotent. One day it will fail or fall by the wayside if major problems keep cutting into its use. I remember MySpace and Facebook, back in the 2004 days. Back then, it was the newest way to keep up with your friends; now, it’s almost a joke at times with the adverts, apps and add-friends-frenzy. I still use both sites but my usage of both dropped when it became too problematic & annoying to sign in to the damn site.
Although, I’m still waiting for someone to come up with a FriendFeed type site that will also post replies to your social network sites. I know I’m not the only one–we’ve got the idea, we just need a developer and some money for a startup. Anyone want the job, let me know, I have some ideas.

The only problem with the issue of social networking sites is that powers that be can see them as a potential exploit and simply shut them down. Lets face it, if Google in it’s wisdom decides not to count weight on hyperlinks from bogs then that would kill the power of the social networks and blogging itself. If no one can find the information, then they will never hear it.
