I think tumblr is where I’m willing to draw the line - most often, I email stuff I want people to see (or IM). I blog about stuff I’m interested in discussing, or, essentially, thinking out loud.

Really, the internet is an evolving beast (yes, I love that word), and things will constantly change as long as our lives are entangled with it. I have a feeling I may keep the accounts open (and do my best to entangle them all to essentially promote my writing) but at the same time, that’s the danger of every web 2.0 app I’ve seen - they essentially do the same thing, of promoting blogs. Tweets then become blog updaters, as well as the “email update” you can have, as well as the half-dozen other applications that do the same thing!

Granted, the majority of applications are still in early stages, but if they don’t evolve from being the same thing (I see twitter staying ’simple’ - for now, as that IS it’s main appeal) they either will combine, die, or split. Inevitably, this is web 3.0 in the making. I see too many duplicate applications, too many “web apps” that could be reduced into one, and too many widgets competing for the same space.

This is getting much longer (and rambling) then I’d like, so I’ll try to write more about this later.
