It lets me send my @replies only to twitter and decide where to push my posts to. Course I don't understand linking it to Ping.fm which, as far as I can tell, does the exact same thing. Then again, it doesn't matter how loud I shout. I am pretty sure no one's listening. I like using SocialThing for my multi-micro-blogging.

I remember using the Web in its infancy, long before Google was even a tinkle in someone's eye. I used search engines with names like Yahoo, Altavista, Excite, Metacrawler, Ask Jeeves, Netscape, and Mamma. Some of these engines still exist, while others have been swallowed whole whether by M&A or the passage of time. When you consider most people - throughout the world - only know Google and not the other search engines, perhaps one of the problems with Web 2.0 is there are so many instances of the same purpose; do we really need StumbleUpon, Digg, Pownce, Tumblr, and Ma.gnolia if they all essentially serve the same purpose? Or, like the search engine analogy, will time come to show only one being used on the tongues of everyone?

As with most of my rants, they begin on Twitter and then trickle their way into a blog post - and if you’ve seen some of my tweets, you have seen my personal distaste for these services and the people who use them.
