So interesting little bit from last night's Personal Clouds gathering (and there will be more, it was a fascinating night): Priv.ly is a browser plug-in that embeds linked data in-line.
Why is this a big deal? The use-case is that you comment on your favorite social media site, and rather than putting the comment there, the field gets a link to your content. Clearly there are some issues to be worked out here, but... right now when I make an image post, my FaceTwit updater puts that image on Flutterby.net and tosses links on Facebook and Twitter (and here).
This could be a way for me to make those updates, and more, and have richer content show up in-line in whatever aggregator/stream system people are using. I'm not sure the whole thing has come together yet, but it's an intriguing concept...

If I had time right now, I'd like to make some modules for "widget" to suck in data I write on Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.. and store it all on my local website.
Write anywhere, and also "improve my brand" at the same time.
or not, depending on how stupid I am.

Meuon, look at ifttt.com for some ready made modules.

IFTT.com is kewl, and almost the opposite of what I want to do. Part of the reason to code these things myself, is to see how these other systems are working, or not. And I specifically want to interface to things that it does not support and have a copy of everything on my server.
What I am realizing is how much value/content I add to other entities, but have no central copy of myself. That includes Flutterby, although I admit the value may be negative ;)
if it pours rain today, I may build it.. Otherwise, it's a work on the house weekend.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
