Tumblr 3.0. Ooh, lots of lovely new features for Tumblr. I’m quite liking the look of these channels. But I haven’t played with anything yet and can’t see me finding time for a few days. Looking good though.

The API looks fairly powerfull. The groups thing something I’ve been wanting so much I started to try to make my own.

You just get the option of tumbling to your log or the group when you hit the bookmarklet. Plus you can have any number (it seems) of other posters. Sounds perfect almost for your flyer idea.

I’ve just created a Birmingham: It’s Not Shit tumblog, the idea perhaps being to get other people to pop links pictures and the like in there .

I have been unable to upload a trial image, whether as a file or a URL. Error every time. Then Tumblr is down for maintenance. A bit offputting for a new release.

But it is working again, well, sporadically, but enough to start Snaps and Crackles with Pops, a blog for the grandchildren.

This is the personal blog and main internet hub-thing for Pete Ashton. What you'll find here is a seemingly random collection of stuff I want to talk about and share. If you want to know where I'm coming from you could do worse than check the about page.

This monster sucks in all my blogs from all over the place should you fancy a bit of Pete overkill.
Twitter dump
I have a separate Twitter account, @petepump, which, if you follow, will alert you when I write a new post here or on ASH-10.com. YMMV.
Friendfeed
I'm not an active user of FF (to be honest I'm not sure how using it sustainably is possible) but if you like your social media in crack cocaine form here's all my stuff.

Some blogs I like

Elsewhere

Like most people I spread my stuff around a bit so if this blog goes quiet I'm probably burbling away somewhere else on the Internets. Here are the places you'll most likely find me. (Be aware that how I use these spaces will change over time.)
ASH-10
This is my business blog where I give advice related to social media and blogging in the hope that people will pay me to tell them more. It's working so far. It also serves to keep my witterings about social media and blogging in one place meaning if you find all that stuff deathly dull you don't have to avoid it here. And if you can't get enough of me imparting my decade-ish of experience it's all in one handy spot. Win!
Twitter
This is where most of my online social life happens. Follow me and you'll know what I'm doing and what I'm thinking. Or at least what I want you know I'm doing and thinking.
Flickr
More than 6,000 photos at the last count, some of them rather good. All my photos go here before being used elsewhere and while I'm not as active socially there as I was I do pop in to the Birmingham group occasionally.
Tumblr
My Tumblr, aka the Smursh, is probably my favourite blog as it's the most pure. A scrapbook of cool stuff I find online from videos to pictures to anything at all.
Facebook
I don't use Facebook that much, preferring the immediacy and simplicity of Twitter, but I do check in occasionally.
Last.FM
I've been scrobbling my music habits to Last.FM for years but don't really engage with the site socially too much. I do like it a lot though. Fantastic service that keeps living up to its promise.
Delicious
I recently figured out how to use Delicious properly and should blog about it really. In short, this is where I dump all the links to interesting pages I find (as opposed to videos and images which go on the Smursh). These are then syndicated to my various blogs, or not if they're not suitable. So following my Delicious isn't really necessary but using it as a tagged archive of stuff would work.

Others
Given the nature of what I do I'm always trying out new services but they tend not to stick. You can find me on MySpace, for example, but I never check in anymore. As a rule my activities spiral out from my blog to the above and then into other arenas.
