Creating a Nexus

I've been blogging for a couple years, a continuation of the cancer newsletters (The Shunt) I'd periodically distribute to update friends and family on C's progress. And I still keep the blog. In fact, this is being posted to the blog.

The change, however, is that the blog is not also a feed into my Facebook page. Each blog entry gets mirrored into Facebook. My Facebook friends need not follow the blog... they have it automatically.

I've also been tweeting a bit...not a lot, but a little. My twitter circle is quite small. It may only be 140 characters, but the big draw for tweeting is to connect from my cell phone -- survival blogging.

So recently I had noticed that a Facebook friend of mine was clearly mirroring his tweets to Facebook somehow. I checked in to the FB app he was using and included it. Now, I can text messsage a tweet that will also show up on my FaceBook, for a wider circulation. I'm liking the abiltity to reach all venues when necessary, liking having a sort of information nexus.

Because, you never know when you'll have to send that infamous one-word tweet from Colombia that says "arrested"
