I don’t want the tool to dictate the message, but at the same time I have to be open minded. These days you really do need a communications arsenal to reach your different audiences. I suspect I will be more life streaming. In the end, I am not sure if Steve's decision was the best one, but he accomplished his goal of challenging our assumptions.

I use my blog as my hub, my main information centre. I have Posterous for soundbites ("more than Twitter, less than blogging") and my Friendfeed and other sources as feeds. Twitter I use as a connection and conversation tool. But my blog is my base camp, if you like. If short and multi-feeds work for you, cool. If single point blogging works for you, just as cool. It's wherever you feel comfortable, and where your community prefers to interact with you that will help decide where that is. I think it comes down to what works for individuals.

It seems a little early in the game to assert authoritatively that one approach is better than another. There seems to be no silver bullet in social media, although it's important to engage in conversation on a continuing basis. It will be interesting to see a few months from now how Steve's decision has worked for him. In the meantime, like Brian, I plan to continue using multiple approaches, which includes maintaining a regular schedule for my blog. Thanks for the excellent post.

Well done! Truth is that it's all a matter of consumption behavior and the associated intent in which publishers vie for attention and how they wish to be perceived within target communities. I opt for multiple approaches. For a few years, I've run a lifestream at http://briansolis.tumblr.com which essentially grabs updates from multiple sources and condenses them into a easy to follow stream for those to stay connected with bites instead of meals.
