No it’s not a post about soup (even though soup is very nice, especially the chicken soup kind of soup) but more about the micro blogging site/service called Soup. For a while I’ve been thinking about re-coding an older project of mine which I called ROnotes back then.
It was a simple a thing which would let you post links, images and small pieces of text for future reference. Today I came upon Soup which basically does all that and then some more. I guess this is what you get when you procrastinate so much with your own projects. Someone else comes along and does it even better.
I’ve got my own soup account now as well and I’ll continue testing the various features it offers. But so far I must say that I like it a lot.
There are of course some things which I’d like it to have. Being able to make private posts would be nice (for those posts that you only want to be seen by you), and some kind of content auto detection would be nice.
For example youtube links could be automatically video, text in quotes would be quotes, and links ending with a known image file extension would be images obviously. Would streamline the experience a little I imagine.
