SomeLemonade – you look nice, and if all I was looking for was multimedia content, you’d be great. But where are all the text posts from the people I follow???

Tumblrize – I FUCKING LOVE YOU. You have simplified my blogging life by automatically posting what I write on my blog also on my Tumblr, all with a neat and tidy WordPress plugin. <3

Seesmic (desktop) – so far I’m pleased. You show me multiple Twitter accounts in one window, and I love you for that. This is going to make my life significantly less frustrating.

Ping.fm – I’m excited at the potential you have. You’ve included all the social media sites I use, and about 50 I don’t, which is cool. You’ve also included about 20 ways for me to update via your site, including email and several IM clients, which is also impressive. Given the complexities, however, you’re going to take a helluva lot more time to explore.

Tarpipe – you look awesome, so much functionality. You hear that whizzing sound? That’s the sound of most of that functionality going right over my head. If I was a developer, I would probably be super stoked. I’m impressed, but in a really lost and confused sort of way.

Social media is going to drive me to drink. This blog used to be the only thing I had to keep track of, but in a fit of madness I have also gotten myself tangled up in Twitter and Tumblr. I’ve got 8 or so clients/apps on the go to try and find the best way to streamline things for myself, but they all seem to be missing something. Ping.fm seems promising, but I have the additional issue of having to manage multiple accounts within each platform on top of everything else.

Facebook is another complicated matter, as I don’t generally cross-post what I do here over there and vice versa. Myspace is a beast that I rarely tangle with, but I’ve got an account there too. Where to update? And when? I keep seeing advertisements for apps that consolidate your social media accounts so you can see them all in one place, but if we’re all cross-posting, that consolidation is going to be a mess of duplicated posts.

I feel this all building up into an avalanche of data that’s going to bury and smother us all. No wonder people are killing all their accounts.
