links for 2009-09-02

If you’re interested in reading about what public sector workers are blogging about, I’ve just completed a mass update to the Public Sector Bloggers website and feed which was initiated by Dave Briggs and tidied up by Steph Gray.

Posterous is clearly intended to fill the meso-blogging gap. It simplifies its input mechanism to the basics (an e-mail – manageable by almost every device these days, static or mobile), but it receives every form and size of file, from photos to MP3's to documents to video. (I've never used Tumblr, though JP made a strong recommendation). Posterous also narrows the gap between creation, utility and publicity by giving all audio its immediate iTunes link – a very seductive integration (though I'll be using Typepad-via-Feedburner).
