I have been using Tumblr as a blog platform to put links to articles and other blogs that I have found interesting. Tumblr works well for this and I have done a number of these "interesting" blog posts.
Google plus, which is fairly new, will do the same and appears to have some advantages. I have decided to move onto this platform for a while to see how it goes. It is a little more efficient to get a blog up on Google plus and it may also have a higher hit rate regarding search. On the other hand I will still use Tumblr primarily because of the potential problem of putting to much material in one location. Regardless, post notification still goes to twitter.
