Thing 41

This was a perfect time for me to find out about these great services because I've been feeling frustrated trying to keep updating so many different websites - and having to log in to each one, type out my update and then maneuver to the next website. 

I'm trying out Lifestream in the hopes that I can make it work with two accounts. I'm using it on my personal accounts to update my sites, and that's working just fine. I've found that I have a need to update a bunch of accounts as well for the ISTE SIGMS - so I think this will be a great way to update all of those as well. It will be especially nice for those because the information I post will generally be the same for all of them. On my personal accounts I have different viewer: family, friends, co-workers, and professional people. I don't always want to post the same information to those groups. Consequently with this one I'm finding that updating each one individually is a better way to go. 

I would like to see a similar application where I could put different posts into each website through one URL. I see some drawbacks to doing that, however, and even to the way I'm using Lifestream. When I update my websites this way I don't get to enjoy reading the updates that others have posted - and that is one of the main reasons I use these sites.
