So I love using Clipmarks and I am just addicted to Twitter and I wanted a way for my “clips” to be posted to twitter without having to copy the info and the like and pasting it into a tweet. Now Clipmarks has a great feature to allow you to clip-to-blog which if you have looked at any of my site I use quite frequently! They also have a neat feature that will post links to del.icio.us, as well as other services. I figured they probably already had the idea but I Im’d Eric Skiff anyways to let him know and he confirmed that they had bee talking about it but he also reminded me of another way that this can be accomplished. Clipmarks generates an RSS feed for just about any list on their site, your clips, your pops, your clippers clips, you get the point. You can of course grab the feed for which ever page you want and use TwitterFeed to publish that to your Twitter page. Now in a case where you have multiple twitter accounts for different purposes, I have my personal account and one from BlogLDN, you can take advantage of Clipmarks tags and use the feed for that tag to post and because TwitterFeed uses a different login for each feed you give it there is no end to the number of combinations you can use. Thanks to Eric for pointing that out and the guys at Clipmarks and Twitter for the services!

I been hanging out on Group in Facebook a bit more then I have ever before. The group is “Bloggers of Canada“, go join there if you like, it’s been growing pretty quickly and there is some great value in the discussion. I don’t know why but this if the first group I’ve really been active on, just kinda happened that way. A few things I have found there have been annoying me and some other people. Chris Brogan has posted a few times about it and I suggest that you go read him for far better coverage.

What i can’t stand having to go back and check on the discussion boards. I can never keep track of new posts and new members. They need to use RSS so I can subscribe to a number of feeds and make sure I never miss a thing. If I could subscribe to a feed for new posts on the discussion boards, one for the new members and one for new “recent news” items I could stay on top of things far more effectivly AND I would be back on their site more often to post replies. What they don’t get is the only group I keep up with is the Canadian Bloggers because the way they make me use the site is limiting what I can keep up with. There is a lot happening in the other groups that I would love to participate in and through RSS I could but they dont allow it.

One other thing that I’d like to make quick note of is the amount of data the collect and keep. There has been a big buzz around the net about it. I don’t mind them knowing stuff about me but I should be able to delete EVERYTHING easily. Acording to Steven Mansour it is extremely far from it. Here is what I suggest they do is allong with the option to deactivate your account, which I think is kind of handy, they should allow you to DELETE you account which will dump everybit of data they have on you! Just my two cents, what do you think?

I logged into Pownce to post an event and noticed Will Spaetzel had posted a link to a Velleywag article about Pownce that I had somehow missed. I clipped a section, below, that stood out. I never really though about the fact that you could add a ton of friends whom you have deemed trustworthy of sending pirated music to add them to a group and use Pownce to send music to them all. Obviously sending music to the public channel would easily get you caught but a trusted group would be pretty safe! You can easily have another group of you “real” friends to use for all your other contact, twitter style, needs. This is all regardless of your personall views on file sharing and such of course. Hey I bet bands could use this for free MP3 promotions too!

clipped from valleywag.com Pownce is the record industry’s worst nightmare. Precisely because the sharing of files is so private and so limited, it’s almost impossible to police. Unless the RIAA plans to enlist college students to sign up on Pownce and rat out their new “friends,” it’s hard to see how record labels will even figure out which of their copyrights are being violated — a necessary step before they can file a copyright complaint.
