[Om Malik]

This is an ongoing trend. Om Malik has now moved to sharing on his blog first rather than posting directly to social media:

"The inspiration for the newly rebooted “daily blog” comes from Dave Winer, who maintains a “Links” blog. I’ve been using his new project, Wordland, for publishing to the “links” blog, in addition to using MarsEdit. I have also taken a cue from Marc Weidenbaum. The plan is to use this as a permanent archive for everything I share on social media. From here, I’ll route information to relevant channels — mobile apps, social networks and RSS feeds. The experiment continues."

This is, of course, very much in line with indie web sensibilities. The more social media fragments and turns into a toxic place to be, the more people will carve out spaces that they truly own on the web. As well they should. I'm excited to see this; if you haven't made the leap to posting on your own site first yet, the best time to start is now.
