stoweboyd and the /messengers

Looks like I was one of those that influenced Steve Rubel to rethink his blogging: he decided to move to 'lifestreaming' on Posterous and drop his traditional longer format blogging:

The Steve Rubel Lifestream - It's Official: I am Moving from Blogging to Lifestreaming.

Posterous continuous to get insanely useful. They just added auto-posting today to YouTube and Friendfeed. This continuous pipeline of innovation, plus some great advice I got from my friends Stowe Boyd (we talked about Flow when I was in Germany), Jeremiah Owyang (we discussed daily publishing in San Francisco) and Dwight Silverman (one hub, not two says Mr. S), convinced me it's time to make the jump.

This site will become my primary publishing hub - my new home on the web. Meanwhile the spokes will become the social networks and platforms where we all spend time. Today that's Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed. Tomorrow, who knows. My old site will stay online for the archives but I will not be putting any more content up on the old site. Please update your RSS reader to my new feed. I am excited by the change. After five years of publishing, this seems like the right thing to do.
