Semi-Permanent Tumblr Hiatus?

When I originally signed up for Tumblr, I did so mostly to have a centralized location that would enable me to

  1. Easily push out posts to other social networks (particularly Twitter and Facebook), and
  2. Create a record of those posts.

Unfortunately, Tumblr kind of sucks when it comes to (1), and being a proprietary service I remain extremely skeptical of its ability to fulfill (2). Moreover, I’ve begun to use HootSuite more regularly on my phone, which actually does allow me to cross-post to Twitter and Facebook without, well, doing a piss-poor job of it.

So I’m putting Tumblr on semi-permanent hiatus. I may come back to it, particularly if HootSuite’s Android app ever adds support or if the service gets some kind of major upgrade that actually makes cross-posting look decent. I’ll probably pop in ever now and then just to test the latter.

In the mean time, you should either follow me on Twitter at @Necopinus, or friend me on Facebook. You won’t be missing anything if you do.

Assange to UK cops: No, I will not come out of my Ecuadorean embassy

We’re definitely in the end-game here.

I can’t imagine this is going to end well. If Ecuador was going to grant Assange asylum, I’m sure they would have done it by now.

Facebook is continuing to shed U.S. visitors

Eventually I think that Facebook’s only viable business model will be harvesting the organs of its users.

A third of Earthlings believe in UFOs, would befriend aliens

65% of respondents also believe that President Obama would handle an alien invasion better than Mitt Romney.

I desperately want to see the campaign ads for this.

I have never managed to indulge my wanderlust.

Hoping that that may start to change soon though. Stay tuned…

CNN journalist: don’t be nosy

I am a big believer that, in the long run, knowing the cold, hard truth of the world will always be better - no matter how unpleasant or distressing the knowledge turns out to be.
