The post titled Buzz Kill by Leo Laporte is very important. In short, Leo has seen the light following a recent bad experience with Google Buzz.

I should have been posting it here all along. Had I been doing so I’d have something to show for it. A record of my life for the last few years at the very least. But I ignored my blog and ran off with the sexy, shiny microblogs. Well no more. I’m sorry for having neglected you Leoville. From now on when I post a picture of a particularly delicious sandwich I’m posting it here. When I complain that Sookie is back with Bill, you’ll hear it here first. And the show notes for my shows will go here, too.

Here's a guy who has built an audience as big (or bigger) than anyone on the web acknowledging the fact that if your content is worth something to you, that content should be primarily located on a domain you own and control instead of some site that views you as a stepping stone to their next round of funding. I'm happy to say that I told you so.

What now? Perhaps you should try a hosted web system that allows you to publish content from the system while also allowing you to push content to or pull content from satellite sites on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others. Squarespace added social widgets a few months ago. WordPress.com, Ning and Drupal Gardens also allow you to import various RSS feeds (most social services offer one for your activity) to your site. FeedBurner offers a free service called Socialize that will automatically republish content summaries and links from your main website to Twitter.
