I am so 2004 in terms of online technology. Sigh. I suppose I must Twitter? Must I? I avoid Facebook. I am an introver, after all. That seems like the extroverts part of the web.

What’s the next thing after Twitter, techy-types?

Abhi – lots of your trademark funny from the convention, please

The problem now is, to integrate all three, so people dont have to go everywhere. I come to SM via the RSS feeds i read, so Im just going to put all three feeds onto one folder in google reader.

Yep, SM is working on a total re-design to address this issue.

good stuff. I've used tumblr before and loved it for quick mini-blogging. And twitter is great for micro-blogging, when its up.

Nice additions! One suggestion about the Tumblr site though - why is it scroll horizontally? Makes it difficult to navigate with the scroll wheel.

Good point Patrix, but we thought we'd experiment with something new. This gives better separation between each post and lets each one stand out a bit. If over time many feel it to be burdensome then we will switch it up accordingly. Thanks.

Differentiation of news on the news tab from the tidbits on Tumblr ?

On the news tab registered users can post a link to a news story and a small blurb about it. On Tumblr only the bloggers can post and it will be more media rich (especially pics and movie clips). We will be working to make the news tab better for readers as well.

The first is the new SM â€œshortsâ€ site on our Tumblr page. This is the place where you can go to find small tidbits like quotes, pictures and videos that we are interested enough to want to blog

SM "shorts" site on our Tumblr page

My first reaction when I read this was - First t-shirts, now shorts?
