Facebook, mud and catkins....

So far so interesting. There is a huge amount of things to start to learn about facebook and I am just talking the first few steps. It is quite intriguing though. I have spent the morning working out how to link things to my account. The afternoon was for play - wellies mud and catkins..

One of the main things I have been working on is linking my web presence and finding ways of supporting each in the most efficient way. This is where Posterous comes in. Initially I used this service as an easy way to post blog updates from my iPhone. It worked really well - you write a quick email and post it to Posterous and bang the content flows to wherever. It was also posted to my Posterous blog site which, if I am honest, I never looked at as I was using Blogger.com. However, with the arrival of facebook I am now not so dismissive, indeed there may come a time when I stop working on blogger and just use support Posterous. This, though, is unlikely as blogger.com is part of Google and you would hope that this would give the service an edge when searches are made on Google. The second reason why this might not happen is that Posterous is so easy to use that I don't have to do anything and both blogs are updated.

Having spent the morning starting to understand facebook this afternoon I felt like doing something more creative. On came the wellies and I was out splatting through the mud in my local park. What is it with me and mud? Well there was a serious reason for this. I wanted to capture some catkin photographs and now is the right time to do that. Sure enough there was a great show of catkins and I will enjoy working through the images over the next day or so. Now do I publish them to flickr or facebook? Decisions Decisions.
