Scrapping Friendfeed

Given that each of these things has it’s own feed I’m going to play with them instead. Twitter is already being imported as a feed (so was being doubled up by Friendfeed – I’m not sure I want even the one feed right now). I found Last.fm’s widget so I can show my most played artists (once I’d got rid of Kate Nash from my library anyway), which I think makes more sense than looking at what I have just listened to.

Having added a Flickr badge too, I then found this tag cloud to add on. I worked out how I could put it on my scrap paper and was happy. I’d quite like to find a Tweet cloud I could throw in there of my most popular words too but that might take some work on my own behalf.

Latterly I have added Google Readers shared items to the scrap paper as well. My idea long term (i.e. when I next need to avoid work/revision) is to work out how to overlay an image of a newspaper which would just show a side column “and in other news” followed by whatever I’m sharing. It would look good but again will take some work.

The only concern I really have is what I’m getting at here. The idea behind Tumblr, in their own words, is to create a scrap book. I do want to get the information from my various internet locales into one space but whether that is in the vain of “a clean, bare look” or bringing together the bits and pieces but only really writing about stuff of substance and using other means to bring in that other information I don’t yet know.

Something more substantial like Wordpress may be more suited to the task of keeping me technically entertained, but right now I’ve put more content on here due to it’s shear simplicity than over on my other blog where it feels like you have to get very involved just to get started on the customisation side.
