My social Network on Flickr, Facebook, Twitter...

Here’s a quick outline of the online tools I’m currently using. I’ve started, stopped, wiped out, and started this blog several times over the course of about 4 years. Don’t think that means that I’ve figured out the perfect toolset or that I even have a real handle on what this blog is about. It’s still very much about my online life in the sense that I collect things and share them here online, some found, and some created. I’m not here to provide an authoritarian voice about the Web, but I am here to share some, just some, of the things I find of interest.

While I have a couple of dozen accounts for online services, many of them were created just to try them out and are now lingering. How many millions of account profiles are out there not being used? So here’s a list of my primary online services and how I’m using them.

Wordpress
- Blog where I post items I want to share, and use as a record for a later date.

Zemanta

- The Zemanta plugin for Wordpress suggest images, tags, links, and related posts. I can write a couple of sentances and Zemanta will recommend images, tags, etc., helping round out the context of my topic.

Flickr
- Photos I want to share publicly. The Zemanta plugin will find recommendations here within my Flickr photos as well as photos from other sources.

Twitter
- I have two accounts on Twitter, which I suspect will become one account soon. @mediarosa with over 2,000 friends currently, and @Jamie_T which I limit to friends and family and to feed my Facebook status. See Hootsuite and Twitter to Facebook below to see how that works.

Facebook
- Yeah, the obligatory Facebook page, with a schizophrenic mix of friends, family, and work related connections.

Hootsuite
I use hootsuite to post to both of my Twitter accounts and to shorten URL’s. Hootsuite also pulls from the rss feed on mediarosa.com to create a new Tweet.

Twitter to Facebook
- This Facebook application takes my Twitter updates from @Jamie_T and re-posts them as my Facebook status updates.

Camera Obscura Flickr Set

Posted on April 13th, 2009 • Filed under mediarosa • 1 Comment

Check out the camera obscura images from Flickr user mauricioasial asial. I’ve always loved this idea. It’s like, or really is, being inside the camera.
