Twittering
I've been using Twitter for a couple of weeks as an additional update channel and sort of an adjunct to my comics blog, Speed Force (you can follow it at SpeedForceOrg), and I've actually realized that yes, there is a point to it. It's good for the random thought that only takes a sentence or two, but seems like it doesn't quite warrant a full blog post.
And considering how many things I think about posting, but don't, this might actually help me post a bit more. (Now, if I could just convince myself to actually hit Facebook more often...)
So I've added a second account for general stuff, (i.e. not just comics & Flash) as an experiment, at KelsonV, and I'm tying it to K-Squared Ramblings (since I can find WordPress tools to do that, but not LJ). Let's see how this works out...
Update: Okay, so I've got K2R announcing posts to Twitter. I've got Twitter feeding to Facebook using the Twitter app on Facebook. And I'm building daily digests on K2R using Twitter Tools (which is supposed to handle loops) and to LJ using LoudTwitter (thanks, andrea_wot).
I looked at ping.fm per rialtus's suggestion, but from what little I can see without signing up, it only does instant updates, and it looks like it's push only -- i.e., I'd post to ping.fm and it would go out to Twitter, LJ, Myspace, Facebook, etc., but I'd still need something else to pull blog headlines.
So, if I've got all this set up right:
Twitter → Facebook
Twitter → LJ Daily Digest
Twitter → K2R Daily Digest (except for stuff that came from K2R)
K2R Headlines → Twitter
K2R Headlines → Twitter → Facebook
K2R Headlines → Twitter → LJ Daily Digest
