Runt.ly – Blog Without Having A Blog


Runt.lyRunt.ly will be an interesting site if you are naturally attracted to the concept of blogging, yet you don’t have the time or the resources to actually look after a blog on a daily basis.


Runt.ly gives everybody the chance to have a blog which is powered using not WordPress and not Blogger, but actually a platform of its own that resembles a cross between blogging and micro blogging quite closely. That is, the person can send micro messages in the usual way, and these updates will be sent out all over the Social Web. I am talking not only about Twitter, but also about services such as Friendfeed, Yammer and Pluk.


The differences that this has with micro-blogging is that the actual messages that you send out do not exactly adhere to the “micro” conceit, and that they can include pictures and videos by default. That is what makes the whole approach resemble blogging as much as micro-blogging.


Once the long message has been posted, you will get a link for sharing it wherever you like. It is not blogging in the strictest sense of the word, but it comes quite near the mark.

Runt.ly In Their Own Words

“Runt.ly is the easiest way to create short blog-style posts to share over Twitter and other micro-blogs like FriendFeed, Yammer or Plurk. Runt.ly posts can include linked photos, embedded videos and more.”
