A brief encounter with Callum was enough to know you're dealing with someone very smart and special. Later we started opencouchsurfing.org and regularly communicated online. I was happy to meet him again last summer in 2012. He wanted to start a new project and we brainstormed a bit about this. We were both avid users of ping.fm. I think Callum actually got me onto ping.fm at some point in 2007 or so.</p> <h2>Ping.fm: post to 20-something networks at once</h2> <p>Ping.fm was pretty good. There were some minor annoyances but overall it was a great way to post once and spread your message to tons of different networks. Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, but also Identi.ca, Plurk and many other fantasy named sites not used by many. But for an Identi.ca fan it was a great way to update your status on more than just identica. (For the uninitiated, Identica is an open source, slightly decentralized alternative to twitter.)</p> <p>Then some day Seesmic, the slightly bigger social networking company with a nice looking product, took over Ping.fm. And quickly thereafter slashed the main feature that made Ping.fm stand out from the crowd. Since then there was no easy way for me anymore to post to Identi.ca, Twitter and FB at the same time.</p> <p>Thus I was very happy Callum decided to build an alternative for ping.fm: Composer.io.</p> <h2>Composer.io: Post to multiple social networks</h2> <p>Now, half a year later Composer.io has become quite usable and you can <a href="http://composer.io/">post on multiple social networks simultaneously</a>. It's actually a bit smarter than ping.fm as it will already allow you to post longer posts that will be automatically shortened for platforms like Twitter that only allow 140 characters.</p> <h2>Why post to more networks at once?</h2> <p>Personally, I have a bunch of followers of <a href="http://twitter.com/guaka">my twitter</a>, quite a few <em>friends</em> on facebook. Identi.ca is not that active but unlike on twitter the links are <em>dofollow</em> links, so for seo I prefer to put links to projects I want to support with google juice on <a href="http://identi.ca/guaka">my identi.ca</a>, but for social networking reasons twitter and facebook are much better. Like this I get the best of both.</p> <div style="float:right"><a href="http://composer.io/site/blog/"><img src="/sites/guaka.org/files/Screen%20Shot%202013-03-02%20at%201.15.52%20PM.png" width="246" height="927" alt="list of possible social networks to support" /></a></div> <p>Composer.io is a work in progress and <a href="http://composer.io/site/blog/">your input is very welcome</a>!</p> </div></div></div> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:18:34 +0000 Guaka 4634 at http://guaka.org http://guaka.org/guaka-about-embark-48hr-hackathon-lots-javascript-coffeescript-meteorjs-geo-stuff-and-friends-223 <div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">tag: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/tag/javascript">javascript</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1"><a href="/tag/coffeescript">coffeescript</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2"><a href="/tag/48hr">48hr</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-3"><a href="/tag/hackathon">hackathon</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-4"><a href="/tag/meteorjs">meteorjs</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>guaka: about to embark on a #48hr #hackathon - lots of #javascript, #coffeescript, #meteorjs, geo stuff - and friends!</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:07:12 +0000 Guaka 5174 at http://guaka.org
