Why I use flavors.me

Earlier this year I moved my main website over to flavors.me which is a great new way of creating a personal site that acts of a kind of hub to connect all that social stuff we all accumulate online these days. What appealed to me about the site was the simple way that it could be configured to give a custom look while at the same time successfully pulling in data from a number of other locations. My site isn't the most exiting I have ever seen, indeed it is nothing compared to some of the fantastic examples you can see in the new directory but in some ways that suits me because I want to keep it simple. As well as making use of flavors.me I've also made a few other changes to my web presence, of which this site is part. I now run my main blog here on wordpress. This allows me to do longer form posts, sometimes with pictures, and have a nice looking theme. Meanwhile I will now use my Posterous site as a more of a photo blog and place for useful graphics or videos which I come across. This is mainly because of the ease that media can be sent into it, and the way it automatically shares posts elsewhere. Finally I have revamped my tumblr. I've had one ever since Pownce closed but was never really sure what to do with it. I must admit I like the way it works and I did toy with the idea of making it the home of my blog but there is still something stopping me that I can't quite put my finger on. So for the time being I'm using it as a lifestream, pulling in blog posts, tweets, rss links and photos. For now this is a setup which I'm relatively happy with but just like the rest of the internet, things are always changing, so we'll see how it goes.
