So true – I think there's huge opportunity in this space. CMOs and CCOs (a
new one – “Chief Community Officer) are hiring people to manage their

Since you already have a “home base” blog, something like Posterous might be
superfluous for business. I like it for sharing with small
groups/friends/family. I'd say it competes with Facebook and FriendFeed
(which is now owned by Facebook).

I'm going to check out Ping and Posterous; others have mentioned both to me ... just need to get brave and move fwd & try something ELSE that's new. Seems like every week there's a new way to organize/optimize my SM lifestyle! :) All good stuff.

A lot of systems coming on board, but ones that are not “officially” supported are starting to post on their blogs the link to use to create your own.

So reader has its own settings for updating like you describe?

Eye-fi is crazy good, but you definitely have to modify your mgmt behaviors
a little to make sure you don't load up your hard drive too fast.

It takes away browser window real estate. I also regret the way the service takes RT (or retweeting) out of the equation.
