Finding that communication 'Sweet Spot'

Since I got my iPhone, I’ve been experimenting with some new things. Im trying to be a bit more mobile-friendly and see just what I can do via the phone. Im also thinking more about ‘streams’. Because of that, I’ve been tweaking some things.

So first thing is I’ve tweaked my blog theme a bit. The previous theme was aesthetically really nice, but the flash-based top 3 stories located at the top gave me trouble – especially from a phone. With the current theme, I can continue to post at home, or I have the option to post while on the go. WordPress has a nice iPhone app that lets me do updates as well as delete all the SPAM that I’ve been getting recently. This theme is also a bit easier to read on a small screen.

Second thing is communication streams. Steve Rubel is someone who is big on lifestreaming and communicating in streams. I thought I might change my blog to be more like a Tumblr site, or a lifestreaming site, with every Twitter post/Delicious link/status update aggregated onto it, but I think its a bit too much for my home page. I’ve had some test-post blogs and tweets today and will continue to tweak until I find that communication sweet spot..

The other thing I’m still wrestling with is the 46alpha Facebook Fanpage. Im having to separate some posts into professional, some into personal, and I have some that just overlap into both. It would be easier to have just one, but Im not sure if I want to flood all my personal friend/family contacts with a large number of communication and professional-type posts. I don’t mind merging my personal and professional life at all, I’ve just been trying to be courteous to those who are digitally connected to me.

So if you see some test-posts, commo checks, etc over the next few days, just bare with me. Im just trying to find the best solution.
