An article on my recent participation in the Silver Camera Photography Festival in The Hague appears in Professionele Fotografie both online and in the printed addition. If you speak Dutch, let me know what it says.
How I Use Social Networks
A coworker recently asked which social networking sites I use. I thought I'd take the opportunity to break down my "strategy." Blogs I blog here at ericmaierson.com, of course, and have also written extensively for the MediaStorm blog. (See the tutorial section.)
I use the WordPress plugin, WP to Twitter to automatically update Twitter when I create a new post.
I also have two tumblr sites. Tumblr makes blogging fun; it's an easy way to repost things I find on the tubes.
I save pictures to my dropbox during the week then post on Sundays.
Finally, I am the proprietor of a single serving site, WhatIsTheMostImportantThingAboutMultimedia.com.
I have three twitter accounts. The first is my personal and often neglected feed @gboy. It's neglected because I spend most of my time curating @MediaStorm. There you'll find lots of links about photography, infograghics, Final Cut and tech news–particularly related to Apple.
Finally, there's my pet project @FCPkeystrokes where I tweet one Final Cut keyboard shortcut a day.
I use the facebook application Selective Tweets which posts my @gboy updates to facebook if they include the hash tag #fb.
My Twitter tools of choice are Tweetie for the iPhone as well as the desktop version.
I post, however, using the web application Hootsuite. Hootsuite provides an excellent bookmarklet that when clicked automatically populates a new tweet with the name of the current web site and a shortened link. The only drawback is the link creates an iFrame on the resulting page.
Photography
Flickr is the main archive for my photography online. I also use the online editing site Picnik for last minute color corrections. Picnik can be set up to work from within the Flickr interface. For more information on integrating Picnik see Flickr's FAQ.
Pictures I make with my iPhone, I email to the dead-simple blogging site Posterous which promptly posts them. Posterous can also autopost to a number of other social sites.
I've set up my account to post a link on twitter and repost images to Facebook as well.
Aggregation
I've just started using flavors.me which uses dropdown menus to compact your social network in to a very useful aggregation.
What Did I Miss?
