LIfe - Collecting

I think I'm going to start a tumblr blog . Let me rephrase, I think I'm going to start using my tumblr blog I set up a year or so ago. There are so many different fragments of my life floating around on the interwebs now. From my kids/family blog, to facebook, this blog (whatever this is), twitter, friendfeed, Flickr, youtube on and on. It's important that each of those has their own place. I think different parts of my life need to stand on their own still. But I also want to bring them all together somewhere. Or bring at least some of them together.

There are other topics I would like to talk about as well. This blog seems to be more focused on technology, social media, google, etc. I'm fine with that. I need a blog for that. I'm passionate about all that. But that's not really all I'm passionate about. I'm also passionate about bacon and baseball, this just seems like an odd place to talk about those things. I also enjoy taking pictures, music and puns (I'm just kidding - I hate puns). Again - they don't seem to go here. But they go somewhere.

I posted earlier wondering how we tie all this social together, and I still don't really know. But this is a start for me as far as my personal brand goes. I talked about what Skittles was doing at the time and how using multiple social networks as their site did not seem to work. They tried to build a site on top of a bunch of separate sites. What needs to be done is to build content for your site from a bunch of separate sites. But it still has to be "your" site. That could work.

And no Friendfeed suggestions please. I like Friendfeed a lot and use it. But it's not really what I'm trying to accomplish here. I'm not looking for life-streaming, more like life-collecting. I want it to reside in one spot  - not linked all over the web and not mixed in with everyone else.

Really the only reason I'm telling you all this now is because I needed to write a post here and see how it feeds to my Tumblr blog. We'll see how it goes.
