bounder’s soup. Soup.io seems to be tumblr with more friend aggregation facilities. All well and good - the bonus feature for those of us that have very many blogs is that you can of course be logged into your tumblr account and your soup account at the same time - leaving two quick bookmark-based microblogging platforms available.

There have been a number of times since I started my tumblr account that I wanted another for a specific purpose, now if I can only remember what they were…

Sign up, but please don’t just use it to push your blog feed, flickr pics etc through automatically.

I’ve just finished altering the front page of our kitten blog site, The Kitten Channel. It’s always aggregated Flickr pics and YouTube vids tagged kitten, but where it used to also try for Zooomr pics and Google video it now pulls in blog posts and sites (Technorati and delicious respectively). This was because I felt that Google video and Zooomr weren’t updated often enough to provide our patented* “river of kittens”.

The front page now uses roughly the same code as the from page of upyerBrum, with Magpie RSS to pull and cache the feeds.

*Not really
