Hi Dru:

Thank you for the fantastic initiative. This is really very
cool.

Is there a service, wherein one can post a single update
(twitter size) and it sort of goes to
  . orkut BSD
  . twitter BSD
  . facebook BSD
  . upcoming.yahoo BSD
  . google calendar BSD
  . ning BSD
  . blogspot BSD
  . identi.ca BSD
  . digg BSD
  . etc
  . forum BSD

With this approach there will be a consistent message seen
across the various web touch points.

What do you think ?


thanks
Saifi.
