Networking the networks, rising from the dead
Last October I posted about the lack of software available to integrate the many niche online social networks. It’s six months later and Six Apart news announced a cross-platform blogging application for Facebook called Blog It. This is a wonderful example of how fast technology changes, and in this case meets demands of users. (I’ll admit I’m not as enthusiastic when Adobe updates their software every year and charges me.)
While the Blog It application may not answer all my online prayers, if I can ever find anything more than an announcement from September 07 on their Social Graph the two combined might come close.
It looks like the Facebook application turns its normal method of feeding around and supplies rather than ingests information. The accounts that are currently supported include typepad, blogger, livejournal, moveable type, pownce, tumblr, twitter, vox, and the wordpress sites. It’s a start. But even though I can feed this blog into my Facebook account, I can’t update it from there since my blogging software is none of the above.
