Mash And Merge
August 26, 2008

I've become strangely addicted to blip.fm, which is a kind of a merging of Twitter and Last.fm. I assume more Last.fm related features will appear at a later date, but it's pretty well integrated with Twitter already.

As I expected my phone is frustrating many of my efforts at playing with any locative stuff so I've turned my attention to ping.fm [my beta invite finally appeared] which is a universal [well, almost] updating site where I can ping tweets, status updates to MySpace and Facebook [and many more] and update my blog, via e-mail, GTalk or various widgets. Again, not brilliant from the Viewty and I'm still not that sure it'll be much use to me apart from using it from a mobile device. If I can get to a PC I can update the other sites anyway. There is a mobile application as well but I was hoping to be able to send updates via SMS rather than launch something that needs a WAP connection. Dan Lane has come up with a workaround which I'm trying out now.

I've had a quick look at hellotxt as well but it doesn't offer Blogger updates. I'm now awaiting a Brightkite invite to see what that has to offer. It's not an updating service but still a bit of a mash-up of other social networking services by the looks of things.

Toying with the idea of going to see Video Games Live 2008. And wish I could stump up the cash to attend Microsoft Remix UK 08 in Brighton. Mind you, judging by my experience with the above tools I might be a bit out of my league there!
