Blogging

Robert Scoble didn’t really give up blogging (he posted yesterday and the day before) but apparently Steve Rubel has.

Rubel says that blogging ‘feels old’ and has move to Lifestreaming with Posterous.

Posterous sits somewhere between a full blown blog and a microblog – users can submit content to their Posterous account in a number of ways:

1. By sending email from a pre-registered address  – the content is automatically added as an update to your Posterous Lifestream
2. Obviously the above means that you can submit content from a mobile device.
3. Using a bookmarklet which allows you to ‘grab’ content – video, image, text, music – similar to the way that del.icio.us works

Here is my Posterous page, which I will trial for a while.

Blogging would be a full time job for someone like Steve Rubel – by opting for shorted posts on Posterous and engaging via Twitter, FriendFeed (and to a lesser extent Facebook) maybe he is acknowledging a desire to remain in the conversation without having to lead it.

Maybe Edelman want him to do some client work. More meetings!!

Maybe we’ll see more short videos from Rubel.
