…and I’ll be there to give them a test run. Amongst other things, it looks like they might launch some of the features that will let you update various sites from their unified interface:
As well as a great looking iphone interface:
The most exciting piece of news to me is the sneak peak at a slick way they’ve implemented updating multiple sites/statuses from one interface. If this works how I think its going to work, I might end up using this rather than my Twitteriffic > Twitter > Facebook workflow I’ve got going now. I’d much prefer to this level of granular control on a per status basis.
Anyway, keep an eye on these guys and if you’re down in Austin for SXSW, give a holler via dodgeball, twitter, or facebook.

Alex, your speculation is correct…surely a testament to the design of the page
but yes, the idea is that you go to the Post tab, pick what kind of post you want to make (for now, just Status or Blog), type your post, and then pick where you want it to go. Setting the services at such a granular level was very important, as in the mobile context, you may have friends on each service, but a particular type of status message might only be applicable for, say, Twitter.
The same way goes with our blogs…the idea is that if you want to update your Wordpress and LiveJournal both at once with the same content, you can do that too. Or, just dive into one particular service.
Glad you like it…can’t wait until SXSW comes around to get it out there!
Erm… I hope they’ll release a generic mobile interface along with their iphone interface?
