Cool Tumblr Discovery
Yes I love widgets. Yes I think RSS is liquid data. There is a Jedi satisfaction when data flows between social sharing sites washing up in the tidal ebb and flow on my website or blog without ever having to ftp a byte.
This evening I was sent a PDF flyer in an email, 2MB of information inviting me to a local event which I sadly can’t attend…but, I thought I can share this with my network. I wanted to Tweet it and blog it…somehow filtering it on to my website.
This is when I thought, can I tumble a file? No. Ok…I could turn it in to a JPG and tumble it as a picture…hmmm an added step of photoshop. Tabbing through the posting options in the tumblr dashboard I noted that in the video post I can embed a video using its widget code. Could I paste in any widget code? Yes it seems I can.
The Tumblr widget is already on my website. Tumblr posts to Twitter so…
- I uploaded the event flyer to Scribd, a document sharing service.
- Copied the widget code for the embed
- Pasted it in to the Tumblr video embed dialogue
- Nice discovery that sure enough the Flyer is embeded in my Tumblr stream on my website.
Distributing content to multiple social locations is very useful. Go social media!
Now you can embed collections of page turning brochures and papers in to your blog or website. I am a great fan of the ISSUU platform. I love it when services just keep getting better.
Sorting out www.ping.fm distribution groups to demo SM multi-updating distribution tools. One location to update multiple networks. I love it.
Plugs in the UK are reasurringly chunky, but they’re bulky and not nice in your laptop bag. Here’s a genius design for a slimline version. Kudos.

Absolute bloggers power gadget I need these NOW! Brilliant. Seeing the whole video is a must. The plug that just keeps giving.
Talking with @Torgo about the future of Social Media
@Documentally talks to Dan Appelquist @Torgo at the recent Vodafone 360 event. With my Social Media course kicking off on its first outing on Monday (Nov 2 2009) with a strong widgety theme it seems that as a Widget Queen I can polish my crown and wear it with pride.
Listen!
A stunning visual reference displaying the vast wealth of platforms, tools and services we have at out finger tips on the Inter-Web. My course, starting on Monday is designed to enable business leaders and owners to map out, traverse and understand what tools will add value to thier existing business and put them in to practice.
