Short Blog Posts Vanishing (UPDATED) #ping.fm
You might have noticed that some subjectless, single blog line posts are added to this blog during the day, they may contain a location or an activity as would be more appropriate for a Twitter or a BrightKite feed. These truncated blog posts are actually the microblogs – or status updates – which I’m sending with my GTalk client for the CrackBerry to Ping.fm – which syndicates my microblogs to 20+ sites including Twitter. Sadly enough these messages are erroneously being posted to WordPress by Ping.fm.
I am currently employing two options for correcting this:
- Use my custom trigger (shortcut #ms) to post to all my microblogs – by way of Ping.fm – with the exception of WordPress
- In case a message is posted incorrectly, remove the WordPress item from the blog manually
This does mean that typos cause these microblogs to appear here until I manually remove them, however leaving WordPress active in Ping.fm still makes it possible for me to write a blog post in Ping.fm and have it syndicated to all my blogs. Were I to decide to remove WordPress from Ping.fm I would most likely lose a good part of the automated syndication of my blog postings.
UPDATE: I think I’ve been able to disable this for WordPress, we’ll wait and see…
Please tell me if this issue bothers you, I will try to avoid erroneous messages as much as possible.
