Tumblr or Posterous Part 2

I tried to start a tumblr blog just to compare - but I couldn't even get past a theme.  There wasn't one in the bunch that made me feel like I had a real website, accessible to non-dashboard users, non-tumblr users.  With Posterous, I had that immediately.

I'm starting to enjoy the posterous aesthetic a bit.  Smaller type, not the doughy characteristics of 2.0 aesthetic like Tumblr has, but just clean lines like google.  It feels great.

Posterous is solid, the email driven posting really works for me, and it looks great and professional.

On Tumblr, you spend more time following people, and posting in the hopes of getting reblogs.  Also the content is much better (so far as I can tell in a couple of days) in the Tumblr community.

I would say that Tumblr is twitter on steriods and posterous is wordpress on slimfast.

Posterous will work just perfectly for our strategy blog, but I'll still keep tumbling, as that is a unique realtime experience.

Tumblr or Posterous Part 1

After setting up my posterous account, there are a few things that I immediately missed from Tumblr:

  • I can import a feed into my tumblr stupid easy.  I still haven't figured out how in posterous.
  • Without customizing HTML, there are very limited things I can customize in my theme
  • Come to think of it, there aren't many themes
  • Tumblr's dashboard simply crushes the "subscriptions" feature of posterous.  In Tumblr, it's the main interface, in posterous, it's the 4th tab, enough said.
  • Doesn't do a good job of suggesting cool people for me to follow

Nice surprises include:

  • I like driving all the posting through email.
  • Very easy to broadcast to Facebook and Twitter (probably is on Tumblr too, I just joined before those features were in place)
  • My use of a theme came out looking sharp the first time.  I never felt like my tumblr blog looked sharp
  • Adding collaborators seems like such a simpler experience than the never working group blog feature in tumblr.  I liked the group blogs, but nobody in my groups used them.  This has more promise.

Bright Red Hits Posterious

We've been looking for a place to collect our strategic work.  Since we've all been tumblr users for a while, and really for no other reason, we wanted to try Tumblr's main lifestreaming competitor, Posterious.

The primary goal is to create a focused resource about web video and social media, what we call "Social Entertainment."  

The secondary goal is to blend our realtime thinking with the more strategic r&d we do for our clients and our own business.

I read a post by Matt Mullenwag the other day that, "when a blog becomes an activity stream it becomes a weak version of all the things it aggregates."

I agree with this statement.  We're still looking for the right way to surface realtime and to blend it with other forms of content.  It's a problem we're working hard on at Bright Red Pixels, as we develop the Sqatter realtime platform and build social entertainment properties like TV in a Flash that incorporate realtime elements.

I'm interested in how well Posterious will serve this goal, so as I set up this blog, I'll be looking to:

  • blend selective posting from several twitter accounts, easy multi-media blogging, and how-to information in an intuitive way,
  • organize it into an attractive, easy to use resource on the topics we're covering,
  • publish it seamlessly to different content channels (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc)
  • capture the conversation going on in all those channels
Once we've put it together, I'll share with you my thoughts on the platform.  As you can see, I'm starting with just a bare Posterious page.  Step one is to find a theme and get our lead designer Sean Tice to create a custom background for us.

Actually, no, step one is to send this email and get started!

Posterous – Lifestreaming or Not? « Ms. Ileane Speaks

I recently created another blog on Posterous but I wasn’t really sure why I would need it. To fill you in on what Posterous is, the tagline from the homepage: “is the dead simple place to post everything. just email us.” And after all, my tagline and the purpose of this blog states:

I’m here to learn, to teach and to connect!

Therefore, I consider adding another blogging platform to my social media arsenal, as a golden opportunity to share the experience with my readers.

 

Why use Posterous?

I like the clean look and feel of the template I’m using on Posterous. I find it a very easy alternative to the seemingly endless stream of widgets and themes found on WordPress.com. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about the the multitude of features here, it’s just that there are times when I want sharing to be less complicated. Using Posterous I compose entire posts in an email, send it off and I’m done.

Lifestreaming 2010

I'm employing the very funky Posterous platform to manage a family of blogs documenting my forthcoming round the world trip.

Why Posterous?
It seems the simplest and most elegant form of lifestreaming available, making it easy to upload text, pics, audio, video, maps, docs etc.
All via an email to post@posterous.com

Why Round the World trip?
After long and careful consideration, my girlfriend Rachelle and I have decided to leave London for pastures new. On September 1, 2009, I handed in my notice to leave The Times (I had a four month notice period to work out). Although we have some pretty strong contenders, we haven't yet chosen exactly where we're going to settle. Our plan is to spend several months on a global recce before reaching a decision. We depart December 31: first stop Mumbai.

Tonight I designed a new interface for zoopa's homesite. What do you say? Is this telling everything you need at first look?

What I'm doing here

So I've had this posterous for a while, but not really used it much.  Mostly I've been posting over at MercStrategy.com, as well as Facebook and Twitter.

I've decided, however, that I'd like a personal blog to post, well, personal stuff.  A lot of what you find here will be thoughts and obeservations relating to the fast-changing media and communications climate.  A lot of stuff on online tools.  I'll share things I find interesting from across the Web.

And, of course, you'll probably end up seeing stuff about the Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago White Sox.

So, why Posterous and not a "traditional" blogging platform?  Simple:  I love Posterous.  It fits well into my daily workflow and makes it so much easier to post while I'm mobile.

The "lifestreaming" concept really works for me (I think), and so we're going to try this out.  If it doesn't work, I'll let you know.  But I think it will.

Thanks for reading and, as always, feel free to share anything you see here and leave your thoughts in the comments section.

The Next Big Trend? It's All About Curation

Fact: Information sources are exploding. More information will be created in 2009 than all prior years.

Fact: Attention is finite. We're becoming media agnostic, but when we're interested in something we dig down into our interests.

This is why I and others like Robert Scoble are really excited about digital curation. Facebook and Twitter lists are one level of curation. However, there are others. Posterous and Tumblr are fantastic platforms for soliciting contributions from groups of people around a shared interest. And they're platforms that will enable all of us to curate together.

Here are a handful of places where you can see curation at work (more in the gallery below as well) ...
  • My Parents Were Awesome is a group-contributed tumbelog that honors our elders. It has received national recognition.
  • PopURLs Brown by UPS curates information all around business news (UPS is an Edelman client but we didn't build this site)
  • Microsoft and Nissan have built entire brandstreaming sites that showcase conversations around their brand (Edelman built the Nissan site)
  • Sawhorse Media is creating a next generation media company by curating tweets in different topics like pets and now lists too
  • IBM is using Tumblr to curate ideas for a smarter planet
Do you agree that curation - both automated and human-powered - is the next big thing? This isn't just aggregation. As I wrote in my initial post on the subject it's about separating art from junk online.

Posterous competitors x 5

http://www.tumblr.com
Blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, video, links, quotes, and audio to a short-form blog. Users are able to "follow" others and see their posts together on a dashboard. Users can like or reblog other blogs on the site. The service emphasizes customizability and ease of use.

http://www.jaiku.com
Jaiku is a social networking, micro-blogging and lifestreaming service, most comparable to Twitter.

http://www.soup.io
Lets you post any kind of content you want. The idea is to have a registration-free service that lets its users create personal pages that aren't splattered with advertisements. Your Soup "scrapbook" consists of "postings" -- to post something, just select what type of content it is from the menu, and Soup will open up a template catered exactly to what you want to want to post.

http://www.plurk.com/
"Plurk is a social journal for your life" -- developed by and envisioned as a communication medium to balance between blogs and social networks, and between e-mail messaging and instant messaging.

https://www.evernote.com
Evernote is ready to collect all of your ideas, experiences, thoughts, and memories into an always-accessible place. Take down inspiration and ideas as they happen, capture interesting sites you see, images and all, snap photos of everything ... -- then, find it all any time from your computer, phone, or online.
