Sorry for all of the posts & Systems^Hey everybody
I’ve now got a pretty complected setup and I thought I’d blog about what
I’ve got and then try and plug a few things at the end
Ok so I have the following accounts that I use …
Flickr – for all my photo needs
WordPress.com – my main blog that I use and advertise most, I dont know why,
but this is the one that people use
blogger – just a copy of my wordpress blog
facebook – there is some people that will only use facebook
twitter – Love it, its simple and its great to follow some of the godly
people on there, I’m learning lots
Live Journal – still to work on this, at the moment its just a copy of my
wordpress blog
Xanga – awesome blogging platform there is some amazing bloggers on here and
its great for blogging ideas (as if I need more)
again at the moment its just a copy of my wordpress blog.
Friendster – another copy of my blog is or will be here…
SO how do I manage this lot?
well I automattically post to ALL the blogs using ping.fm,
its good and allows everything I email to an address posted to all of my
blogs.
to twitter a link to my blog posts, I use twitterfeed …
it lets me not have to worry about that … this will become more important
as the number of twitter followers increases and I rediscover my blogging
grove.
twittersync updates my facebook status to my latest tweet from twitter
MY INBOXes
Google reader – all the blogs I read come here are read and emailed to my
googlemail account so that its all in one place
Googlemail – everything comes into here all my social networking come IN
here and are processed automatically so I can check up on them when
necessary
tasks are created from emails when I need to do something with it else
everything is just marked as read…
I only spend minutes doing email now everyday … I used to take about an
hour and I keep an empty inbox its great
Google contacts are my central contact list for email addresses and phone
numbers (yes I have a backup including paper copies)
this is then synced with my blackberry… as is
Google Calendar – all my working hours are here as well as birthdays,
(including those from facebook) and ANY appointment I have
including my scheduled social Networking times (this keeps me not spending
ALL my time working on fancy systems, blogging and messaging people
So the things still to fix are …
Facebook chat – some people are great to chat too but ONLY use this
skype – see above
MSN – most of my contacts are here so I don’t mind keeping this
Anyone know anything to replace this – I have tried pidgen but cant get
facebook chat to work
maybe it will work I’m not sure … I might try again and if I succeed then
I’m down to …
google apps
twitter (on my phone so not an issue – in fact I like it that way)
PIDGEN or replacement (maybe use google talk? if it can have addons etc
although I would like a portable version)
My usb stick with bunch of data on.
(obviously I use – automatically – more but this would be all that I really
interact with)
so everything is IN THE CLOUD and availiable from my phone, laptop or any
web browser (or else its on my USB stick attached to my keys)
Man I LOVE systems
Things I’m working on: qik – live video streaming …I will get this to post
to youtube and twitter etc
from my phone and from my new webcam … again more info coming soon
