What’s up with supersocial.dk?

Some of you may have read my Danish scriblings over at supersocial.dk. It’s been a while (to say the least) since I posted anythng overthere, and the reason for this is quite simple.

Since joining Re: I’ve put my blog energy into getting Re:thinking – (our company blog) off the ground. I think the guys at Re: did a killer job on our new site (based on WordPress), and it’s crucial for me to contribute to the blog. Maintaining two Danish blogs is too much for me to cope with at this moment, so I had to make a choice, and it was a no-brainer. I’m a Re: guy now

That being said, I quite like my supersocial domain, and I’ve been struggling with a way to put it to good use. As of now, it’ll be an aggregated blog (running on tumblr) of stuff about social software. It runs on feeds from my delish-bookmarks (tagged social), Flickr-pics (tagged social), posts from this blog and the one at Re:, Tweets, shared articles from my Google reader and some other stuff.

So consider it my personal social media filter. I hope some of you can put some of it to good use, and if not you can still follow my posts in Danish at Re:thinking.

Enjoy.

So goes the final line of this documentary on tumblr – a not too shabby micro blogging service. The video is pretty cool too, if you ask me:

So there ya go – video reblogged. I’m a nerd, I know

Tumbling along

I remeber when I bookmarked tumblr a while back, I didn’t quite know what to make of it – as you can see from my description (and from this old Jaiku) I was a wee bit off. But I set up an account, put in some feeds and kinda left it at that. It lingered in the back of my mind, though – there could very well be something interesting there.

The sleek design
The beautiful back end (yes, I said beautiful back end. Go ahead and giggle)
The shear simplicity of posting
The richness it provided when importing feeds

But I left it because of a few things that I was seriously missing:

Comments – why does this have to be one way? (I hear they’re working on that)
~~Image feeds not showing up as images~~ (they do – except the ones fetched via Jaiku – which is understandable)
The fact that I was already well into Jaiku, which provided me with many of the same features and more (although not in nearly as well executed design, I might add)

Now, spurred on by a recent discussion on Jaiku, I’ve decided to give tumblr another go. So I’ve added a Tumblr link to my navigation, and i sincerely hope that tumblr fulills its potential. Because I really like the idea of it, and I still believe there’s something there. An as to why I put the link next to the RSS link. Well, it’s all in the spirit of syndication, right?
