Where's the "like" button on this post? Good stuff.

Ah, Gbattle, there's no more like button cause I ditched tumblr for
wordpress :((

Tumblr excels at making it easy to quote things, like things, relbog,
and share found content. I find Wordpress encourages me to author my
own content more, so I'm back on it instead of Tumblr. (Plus, WP has
much better SEO and it's easier to find things I've written, eg, all
those code snippets and unix tips you've seen me posting.)

Re this post, though, excellent use of sharing links in a receipt email, eh?

Very aware that you switched to WP (looks great, btw). I like the idea of authoring my own content on WP, but have it push to Tumblr, Posterous, Twitter and FF/FB. What would be slick is if you tied together the Disqus comment thread across the destinations such that the conversation follows the content, not the distribution channel.

I think disqus makes that possible somehow, but I have never actually
looked into linking comments on two blogs.

I write software to make the internet better. I live in and love NYC.
