I have made a decision to restructure my social media infrastructure.  In 2008, I experimented with blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Ning and probably some others that I have forgotten.  I’ve had a few observations with this experimentation.

It’s hard to follow all the tools for social networking and hard to know which ones to use.  Facebook vs. MySpace.  Then there’s Ning.  Wordpress or Blogger.  Host your own blog or host it with a provider.  And then there’s using Twitter (microblogging) vs. WordPress, etc (long post blogging).

The functionality also overlaps.  The status in Facebook is similar to Twitter and I found myself posting the same thing to both.  I would like to be able to import my Twitter feed into Facebook, I think.

I also discovered that I prefer to post my status and blogging by my mobile phone at the moment I’m thinking about it.  I generally don’t post to my Twitter account or Facebook status except from my mobile phone.  My current blogging platform does not allow me to do that so I save the text on my phone when I blog and enter it into my blog later.

What I would like is one method to update my status and add blog entries and be able to do this through a mobile device.  I think if I can hook Twitter up to my Facebook page, I will use Facebook as my central location.
