Use ping.fm, that’s how. It took me a while to figure it out, especially since some of these services already talk to each other, like Twitter to Facebook. Now I can do GTalk updates ping.fm, which in turn updates Twitter and LinkedIn. Twitter updates Facebook. Maybe at some point I will turn off Twitter to Facebook and let ping.fm directly updates Facebook.

Aliya got a blog 3 Feb 2006

Aliya has been using the Internet for a while now, normally for browsing and a bit of online games. A few months ago she started asking though: “How do you make a website?”
After searching a bit, and weighing whether I should host her site and so on, I decided instead to teach her to blog. She made her first post just now, I helped a bit as a spellchecker (I though wordpress.com has one… I guess it will be a paid feature 
).
I also set up her email using GMail, with Google Talk as a notifier and maybe chat.
They are not quite there yet for a primary school kid, but close enough to be easy to use I guess. We’ll see how it goes.
