Mind spills

Well to be completely honest, I stopped blogging on Tumblr a few months after I got my first Android phone. The reason behind this was simple - the Tumblr Android application was terrible and could never post a single thing through it on my really slow GPRS connection. I gave this up altogether and began using Facebook, its Android application and mobile site really worked.

I began posting all sorts of really short status updates on Facebook and since people responded nicely to them, I continued to do so. I also posted images from my phone and people liked them which was encouraging. I decided to use Facebook only for friends and family (private).

I thus got interested in mobile photography and began using a service called Picplz- this was new at the time and had a good Android app. It was fun. The Picplz community was new and its users uploaded a lot of good content. Picplz eventually did really well and became the number one photo sharing service on Android.

I then stopped Tweeting - also cause the Twitter Android application stopped working with my really bad GPRS connection.

Then came Google+. Google did one smart thing - they made a really nice, useable, fast Android app for the Google+ service and boy did that make me happy. Google plus became my blogging platform. I began posting all sorts of absurd things. A few people began to “encircle” me - most of them were programmers or IT people from Russia :) (what a surprise).

A summary of how things stand -

• Facebook - Used to publish private content only to friends and family. People I’ve met in real life so to speak.
• Google+ - Used as a blog for now. Until it dies or something happens.
• Twitter - Used for all sorts of dribble and cross linking.
• Picplz - The only photo sharing service I use
• Tumblr - ? (Darn!)

That’s how life is right now.You see how the presence of a good mobile application that works has completely changed the way I publish content on the internet. I have thus always chosen to go with what works best over what is popular. Since the only piece of technology I own at this moment is my phone, it will continue to dictate terms till something replaces it :)

I have no clue what to do with this blog of mine, I shall let it sit pretty and occasionally use it to post something. I do not know how many people actually read this (or any of the above for that matter), if you do, please leave a comment or contact me on any of the above services.
