And with the "private" issue of the new Twirl iteration this week that captures Twitter, FriendFeed, and seesmic posts, microblogging management issues are now just a little more complex. The larger issue of aggregating your feeds vs. aggregating the platforms to which you post call into question just how much you have to be "everywhere" and participate in every conversation. I know several folks, like @banannie, who have already opted out of platforms like identi.ca. Perhaps we just need to put our virtual sticks in the sand and say, "I'll send out general posts through Ping, but my conversations take place at ______." My dos centavos.
