The Atalanta Principle

Following the excellent post by Amit Agarwal (@labnol) I have finally hooked up this blog to Twitter without waiting any further for the promise-ware that is Squarespace's social media integration.

It took Squarespace about a billion years to come out with the iPhone app but we didn't blame them because we knew that was Apple's fault (we did know, right?). But they had the "Social Integration" icon on their homepage for months... and then suddenly it's gone - like, today.

What happened? This was a huge part of my move to SS. Help! But then good old Amit came to the rescue and through the beauty of Feedburner the presence of this post will now get tweeted. It ain't full social integration by any means but it is a start

I think it is a shame that blogs tend to atrophy (not that mine ever really got going) because it is so easy to tweet - and so tying them together makes a lot of sense. A brief subject can be tweeted but explored on the blog. That's the idea anyway.

As I discovered a couple of days ago the noted tech journalist Kate Bevan (@katebevan) has a blog of which the last line of the last post reads:

Now that I’m back, I’m back, and will update regularly.

But still, her tweet-count now stands at 21,820.
