Re: [backstage] ping.fm
Alun has a good point, anyone here remembers the good ole days of the free for all links ? (see http://mpelembe.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2005/12/19/3925166.html ) In my experience, different social networks attract different types of people. My friends on hi5 are totally different to those on Myspace and Facebook. My followers on twitter do not share my interests on Digg. For this reason I make an effort to address friends in the appropriate context rather than blast off the same post to everyone.

Re: [backstage] ping.fm
Hi Ian, in your opinion, what would be a critical feature set for a ping.fm desktop app?

Re: [backstage] ping.fm
IMHO Ping.fm is good, but not great. Would be nice to see a bit of a preview of what a post looks like in various services. Some of mine have been truncated by twitter and facebook and look odd.
